It was actually the lack of customer demand. That the prices got so expensive, coupled with stores limiting how much you could buy, that people got fed up and stopped buying eggs and now prices are coming down
The USDA says consumer prices finally fell as demand for eggs decreased and avian flu cases have fallen. Many groceries, including large chains like Costco, had limited customers’ purchases because of egg shortages.
So Trump’s claim that consumer egg prices are down is finally true – even if the timing of his claim and the wild percentages he threw around were grossly inaccurate.
