The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has initiated an antitrust investigation into major egg producers amid rising prices. This inquiry aims to determine whether these producers have colluded to inflate prices or restrict supply, a response to the significant increase in egg costs affecting consumers and restaurants alike. The investigation follows widespread public concern over the escalating prices, often referred to as 'eggflation.' Donald Trump has publicly commented on the situation, sharing articles that blame the rising costs on the Biden administration and urging Americans to recognize his previous efforts to address the issue. Critics have pointed out that despite Trump's promises to lower costs, there has been no concrete plan presented to tackle the ongoing crisis. The DOJ's investigation reflects a broader scrutiny of pricing practices in the agricultural sector as consumers continue to face high costs for essential goods.

Trump spent months blaming Biden for egg prices. Now, as they skyrocket, his minions are telling Americans to "shut up" about it. No plan. No accountability. Just excuses while Americans pay more. https://t.co/tppXLhLf19
