Waffle House Drops Egg Surcharge, Trump Claims Credit and Sparks Outrage
Did you hear? The American restaurant Waffle House just dropped the 50-cent surcharge on egg dishes after five months! And Donald Trump? Of course, he immediately jumped to claim credit.
Eggs Are Cheap Again, Thanks to Trump?
It all started in February when Waffle House introduced the surcharge due to an egg shortage caused by bird flu. Egg prices skyrocketed, even quadrupling! But now, thanks to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s strategy, prices are falling, and farmers are getting help.
Brook Rollins, U.S. Agriculture Secretary, said there’s significant progress in fighting bird flu. Eggs are now plentiful and cheap again.
Trump and His “Credit”
Naturally, Trump didn’t miss the chance to brag. On his Truth Social network, he wrote: “We brought egg prices back to where they should be. When I took office on January 20, fake news screamed that egg prices had gone through the roof, quadrupling. Now they’re abundant and cheap. Thank you, President Trump!”
Is Trump Really Responsible?
This sparked a real storm on social media. Is Trump really responsible for the drop in egg prices? Or is it the result of the Department of Agriculture’s work and natural market forces?
What’s Next?
As eggs return to plates without extra charges, the question remains — who will be next to take credit for something that’s clearly a team effort?
