Whoopi Goldberg recently graced the airwaves with another of her humorous misunderstandings, claiming that since Donald Trump took office, egg prices have not dropped “one cent.” This proclamation was met with rolling eyes and laughter from those who actually pay attention to economic trends. The truth is that egg prices have plummeted a staggering 44 percent since the beginning of 2025, following a long period of inflation under President Joe Biden. It seems those who keep their heads buried in the sand of liberal indignation might miss some critical details.
After all, egg prices weren’t just rising; they were skyrocketing. Under Biden’s watch, the average price jumped from $1.46 per dozen when he entered office to a jaw-dropping $4.14 in December 2024. Inflation hit hard, and consumers were left scrambling for their wallets. Yet, somehow, Goldberg has managed to completely ignore this reality while simultaneously declaring Trump the villain in the egg price saga. Perhaps her eggs are being kept in a special, insulated carton away from the rest of America’s economy.
Reportedly, the data tells a different story than what Goldberg and her co-host Sunny Hostin insist on selling. By the time Trump officially launched into his second term on January 21, 2025, the average cost of eggs had started on a downward trajectory, dropping from a high of $8.27 on March 3 to around $3.23 this week. Meanwhile, the only thing Goldberg seems to be cracking are jokes—ones that miss the mark on economic realities and consumer experiences.
MUST HAVE DEMENTIA Fact Check: Whoopi Goldberg Falsely Claims Egg Prices Have Not Come Down Since Trump Took Officehttps://t.co/lpgaCWJVR5

The narrative of rising prices can’t be fully attributed to mismanagement alone; the bird flu crisis has also played a pivotal role. Millions of egg-laying hens have perished, causing supply shortages that contribute to price volatility in the egg market. It’s an unfortunate reality, compounded by mismanagement in the agricultural sector. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pointed fingers squarely at the current administration and its handling of the Agriculture Department, which led to the tragic fate of over 100 million chickens. Rather than analyzing this multifaceted issue, Goldberg decided to play the blame game without acknowledging the full landscape of the problem.
As egg prices continue to fall—down to an average of $6.85 as per USDA estimates—it’s hard to take Goldberg’s claims seriously. Her narrative ignores the facts that indicate relief for consumers who have had their grocery budgets ravaged. The American public is not just trying to get by; they are trying to intelligently navigate their finances in light of constant economic shifts. Perhaps next time, rather than publicly woeful declarations about eggs, Goldberg will consider the evidence that’s right under her nose. After all, no one wants a side of misinformation with their morning omelet.
