Just when you thought Easter would be a peaceful, egg-filled reprieve from politics, along comes Donald Trump—scrambling things once again. In what can only be described as the most bizarre economic take of the week, Trump has sounded the alarm over—wait for it—egg prices being too low. Yes, in a world full of real problems, the former president is worried that the cost of breakfast is dropping. Sound the Fox News sirens.

In true Trump fashion, the concern wasn’t based on actual policy or compassion for farmers. Nope. It was more of a vibes-based rant, hinting that lower egg prices were somehow suspicious or maybe even an attack on Easter itself. Because, you know, if the price of dyeable ovals isn’t inflated, are we even a real Christian nation anymore?

Nearly half of Americans are skipping traditional Easter festivities this year because of the high prices of eggs. But Trump doesn’t seem concerned.

During a press conference Friday, Trump appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices, launching into a strange tirade that concluded with the surprising claim that egg prices are actually “getting too low.”

“You can have all the eggs you want. We have too many eggs. In fact, if anything, the prices are getting too low. So, I just want to let you know, prices are down,” Trump told the room of reporters who started shouting questions when he said that.

Now, to be fair, egg prices have been something of a rollercoaster lately. Between bird flu outbreaks, supply chain messes, and inflation doing its weird little dance, eggs have gone from cheap protein to luxury brunch item and now back again. But most Americans? They’re not crying over a cheaper omelet. They’re just relieved that a dozen doesn’t cost more than a tank of gas anymore.

Still, Trump’s message struck a chord with… well, basically no one. Small business owners who rely on eggs, like bakers and café owners, are still trying to recover from the previous spikes. One cookie baker in Denver even had to deal with high egg and chocolate costs, not to mention Trump-era tariffs that made importing packaging more expensive. So while Trump waxes poetic about the good ol’ days of sky-high egg prices, people out here are just trying to keep their bakeries open and their soufflés from collapsing.

But let’s not pretend this is about economics. Like most Trump takes, it’s more about theatrics than substance. Whether it’s toilets flushing too many times or wind turbines giving people cancer (remember that one?), eggflation is just the latest episode of *“Trump’s Weird Grievances Hour.”*

So this Easter, enjoy your affordable eggs. Make your deviled ones, your dyed ones, your breakfast burritos. And remember, if Trump thinks cheap eggs are a crisis, maybe it’s because he’s running out of things to complain about. Or maybe, just maybe, he’s mad someone else is finally getting the egg on their face.
