Notice they NEVER answer a direct question? The question never got answered. This has become an art. People should learn to repeat the question until they get an answer, if it is even possible.
One day, the White House press corps will get together and agree that EVERY reporter will ask the same question, over and over, whenever the press secretary doesn't answer it sufficiently the last time it was asked. There is no other question on the docket until they get a satisfactory answer.
And then the briefing is suddenly done. And canceled the next day. What needs to happen instead is they need to report on the news. Not spin it to sane wash it.
Try it til they cancel the briefings, then go on the news every night and play the clips of the press secretary dodging the question until your average cable news watcher can repeat them from memory
Isn’t she the one that when she ran for congress in Florida a few years ago it just came to light that there was about $300K in campaign money abuse and fraud? Yeah she’s the one. She lost big time btw. Just saying.
Just came back from the store and the cheapest eggs were 6.50 a dozen with other brands going up to 12 bucks a dozen. This is as bad or worse than the highest prices I experienced under Biden. Yeah it’s the bird flu, but guess who is cutting funding for science and safety…
Canada didn't even have to install a fascist to get low egg prices. just basic regulatory controls.
which is also weird as i've constantly been told "regulations" uniformly lead to higher prices. (unsurprisingly by the same folks that support fascism!)
Glad that’s the situation where you live. I’m telling you I just went to the store and they’re almost double what they cost a couple weeks ago in NYC. If it ain’t the bird flu, what is it?
Maybe to a degree but I’m saying the bird flu is real. And it’s apparently spreading through wild birds not just chickens that can be isolated easily. The problem is the new government is removing any systems that could be keeping it under control or looking for scientific solutions.
Also keep in mind, that when one chicken is found with bird flu, the entire chicken coop where it is living, is euthanized. So less eggs to go around. Higher prices. Getting rid of the science that can come up with vaccines or other treatment modalities is not a way to get a handle on this.
Pfft I wish. When there ARE eggs in our stores here in Florida, the cheap eggs I could buy for $2 a dozen 4 months ago are currently $6 and the fancy eggs I was treating myself with that were $4 a dozen are up to $16.
America has no restrictions and Trump is shutting down the ability of health agencies to communicate about and monitor the bird flu, which now spreads unabated in America. So. That’s why it’s bird flu —- or Trump flu, really.
Brain dead Barbie should keep her mouth shut and let the adults talk - she is just a puppet; a ventriloquist dummy for Trump. Ready, willing, and able to parrot any stupid thing he says.
Remember that character in Hunt for Red October, the political officer? The guy with not real value who had to be consulted on everything to make sure it matched the party line? That guy is part of the trump administration now.
For the love of jeebus, hold them accountable. Everything happening is on them. You can't throw tariffs, invading allies, shuttering fed spending out there and then go "but Joe Biden...."
The question is "what is he doing to help?" not blaming it on him. These giant babies can't keep their reactive mouths shut long enough to hear the actual question, much less consider a rational answer.
Agree - Trump said “I will bring prices down starting on day one.” He lied. Now she is lying. She knew that question was going to be asked and conveniently had a response to cover up for the lying criminal she works for.
Whataboutism at its finest (or worst). The standard response from here on out is: "Biden isn't President. Trump is. So what is he going to do about..."
So, don’t answer the question and blame someone else. The question was what is the president doing about the price of eggs. The orange guy is the president, not Joe Biden. What is the orange guy doing, besides cutting everyone’s funding, not allowing agencies to communicate, etc.
I listened to her whole interaction with the press corp today. Wow, she’s a snippy, arrogant little bi**h! She brought up “Joe Biden” repeatedly. Her comments were untrue, rude and hard to listen to. Just SMH . . .
The last post I saw of this chick she was saying how she will be truthful.. off to a great start with the lies! Oh boy.. wtf? It’s very weary out here on the sane side of this
The egg prices are due to avian flu. Once President Trump gets energy production ramped up, prices will come down. Maybe ask folks in NC, CA, Chicago and NYC how they're feeling this week. They know help us in the way fast. President Trump is fulfilling many campaign promises in a week. Kudos
Still waiting for war to end in Ukraine in 24hrs. Seems he's prioritizing inconsequential issues - a bit like vacuuming the house rather than completing a tax return.
Someone let that lying bit*h know that eggs, if you can find them, are up a lot more than 65% since the Trump reign of terror started.
More importantly, millions of birds, including chickens, are dying of bird flu. It transfers to humans and Trump is trying to block all info from getting published.
and why did [prices go up? because ot tumps midhandling of the pandemic. not securing supply chains. lying to us about the severity of the virus. this is ALL on trump, then and now.
It seems like most media outlets have already bent the knee. I’m pretty sure they will just go with it and report everything he does. It’s just a matter of ratings
Perhaps a new press strategy is Deny, Defend, and *Deflect.*
Overall, I suspect the Trump Administration has learned from the health insurance tactics of "delay, deny and defend" in denying citizens benefits, but yeah, that's off-topic.
They are going to have to phrase the question with 'under Joe Biden egg prices went up x% if 4 years, under trump they have gone up x% in x days, trump promised to reduce egg prices many many times, why has he failed, was he blatantly lying or is he just incompetent?
With all the reports on how prices have been going up by the hour practically, I'm not sure even the "Trump can't help it; it's the bird flu" contingency can buy this one. For those who can't, next will be "Biden let bird flu get out of control and /1
I was paying 4.99 2 dozen, then last year it went to 5.99 for 2 dozen eggs. Since last week it's 8.00 for 18 eggs. So the fault belongs to the president in office at the time of the price increase?
Why is this acceptable? I would never accept this from one of my students, but this is ok coming from WH? And elected officials? I’m at a loss, heading to such a dark ending.
They can't blame Joe for egg prices (okay, they CAN, but they are either wrong, lying, or believing that Biden sent ninjas into chicken farms to infect them with avian flu). But, there are none so blind and deaf as those who will swallow every word from an obese, orange, congenital liar.
No screenshots because I get eggs from the store I work at, but did notice the cheapest dozen went from 3.59 to 6 the day after inauguration. I see the prices every day because I have to get them for the deli and it threw me seeing the prices suddenly jump. One brand is up to nearly $9 for a dozen.
They already got away with it. People who voted for him don’t give a shit what he does or says. That’s what is so sad about it. “Live long and prosper” as long as you’re already wealthy and not brown. Sad but true.
How can we get people to use their brains and realize that the high cost of eggs is directly the result of bird flu. Some egg producers have lost their entire flock and their livelihood.
But people bitch about paying more for eggs. It is the same "I don't care about anybody but me" attitude here.
Because, the people who "care about egg prices" were merely using it to try, and fail i might add, hide behind their hate of anyone who isn't a straight white cisgender male.
Bergman's newsletter (2mos ago?) announced that he was going to be on one of DOGE sub committees. He's an eager beaver Trumper and he doesn't even live in MI. full time! His hat was in the ring for Speaker during the McCarthy thing. Emails to him are on Auto Reply blah blah response. Re-elected 11/5
First of all, bird flu. But what would we know about that? They cut off communication. Second, NPR did a piece on food prices - it went up over 20% due to COVID and never normalized. The increases during Biden years were nominal. I’ll try to find the piece they did.
When Joe Biden was in office he had T****'s economy for half his term, and he somehow managed to turn it around in his sleep. So now, WHAT has T**** done with Biden's economy, except raise prices? (And how many economies have you preserved while sleeping, for that matter.)
Biden inherited an expensive economy from Trump's mishandling of the Covid Pandemic. The US under Biden had a better recovery in many metrics than other countries, including better employment and wages. Some inflation happened due to spending to stop off a recession.
Anything wrong, now, in the future, something they messed up and can't fix? It's Biden's fault, it's the Democrats fault, it's Obama's fault, it's Kamala's fault anyone but them.
Lie, lie, and then lie some more is all they know what to do just to distract you from reality.
Also a stupid question. Demand and available supply. With I think, over 122,000 chickens killed due to bird flu. That’s not going to get better anytime soon. So, a stupid question. Also, a stupid answer.
For fourteen years, the tories in the UK pushed the "But Labour crashed the economy!" line, bearing in mind it was caused by someone who became PM, rishi sunak, egging on a bank to buy something that caused it to crash, which had nothing to do with the then Labour-led government...
Just once, just one time, I want a reporter to say, "That's nice, but you are intentionally not answering the question I asked, which was, 'what is he doing to lower prices?' Biden is not in office any longer. What is being done now, by this administration? And don't sidestep the question again."

Bread and circuses as distractions,but,nothing of any substance.
He can still take the time to pretend to rename bodies of waters,though,right?

England is under national bird flu restrictions. With one case recorded in a human.
Eggs are in plentiful supply (free range), and still about $3.95 a dozen (or £ equivalent of).
I guess Cheeto is looking for eggs on the golf course today
This woman is such a tool.
What is real is what is happening BEHIND the curtain. Don’t focus on what is dangled in front of You!
Don’t listen to what they say..LOOK AT WHAT THEY DO!
Their words are only distractions, ENTERTAINMENT, A SCRIPTED REALITY SHOW; a dumbing down of our intelligence.
NOT mis-leading percentages.
Then there’s the Palestinian protest vote.
Trump now wants Egypt and Jordan to take in all the survivors, presumably raze what’s left of Gaza and leave it for crazy Israeli settlers.
Smart move by those Michiganders!
Or at least the concept of the plan... 😉
MAGA for the next 4 years:

Can’t blame felon in chief!
This one is as bad as huckleberry worse maybe
How long are they going to keep using President Biden’s name as an excuse with their extreme measures?
It's what that party does.
But people bitch about paying more for eggs. It is the same "I don't care about anybody but me" attitude here.

Someone should ask about eggs at every presser & be sure to directly mention how much its gone up since the felon-in-queef took office.
