Maybe starting a trade war was not the move.

[-] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 57 points 10 months ago

I dunno. He was getting a really bad, very bad deal on egg prices from Canada. Those greedy people are very nasty. Not nice at all. All this land, lots of eggs. Wont share. I don’t know why governor Trudeau drinks milkshakes, made with non USDA milk while my fellow Americans suffer from an eggidemic.

Not right. Something bigly must be done. I think maybe tariff the land crabs next.

no one sell the americans a fucking egg

[-] Today@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

American. Support this. I would go the rest of my life without eating/using another egg if that would be the thing that begins the end of this nightmare.

ETA- also, i would love to see an SNL skit where Trump is desperately trying to buy an egg, offering a million dollars (that everyone knows he won't pay), begging the world leaders, as they sit and laugh and offer him deals that he won't take.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Damn straight. We don't want fucking eggs. We want regular eggs.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

I'm not sure that you understand the eggs primary purpose. Regular eggs are fucking eggs, unfucked.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago

That should be a cinch now that he's pissed off most of our trade partners. It's like yelling at your neighbors "don't EVER park here!" and building an ugly high fence, then 5 days later knocking at their door "hey, can I borrow a cup of flour?"

You forgot about him insulting and threatening to rape your wife, claiming she wants nothing better and you’re just his pimp for the time being

[-] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 40 points 10 months ago

"Trump administration Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins recently addressed rising prices, suggesting that Americans should begin maintaining backyard coops and produce their own eggs."

Having to grow your own food is peak dystopia.

lol…especially since most zoning regulations prohibit it (raising chickens). many communities have been fighting for years to be able to do such a thing. they would literally love to.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago

Yes this is a great move with fucking bird flu out there. Jesus christ.

[-] Doom@ttrpg.network 3 points 10 months ago

it's like the opposite of Mao's leap. Instead of farmers moving to cities we'll all be farmers.

Weird too with this bird plague, Mao killed a lot of birds too didn't he?

A real artist.

[-] protist@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

the art of the deal

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 26 points 10 months ago

I hear Canada has lots of eggs and they are USA's closest ally, haven't been following the news in 2 weeks though, there is no way decades of relations could have possibly been destroyed in that short amount of time, right?

[-] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 21 points 10 months ago

Would rather look elsewhere rather than actually deal with the bird flu and price gouging corporations

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

Republicans love treating the symptoms rather than even considering taking a look at root causes. The root causes usually lead to their donors.

[-] KiwiTheFlightless@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

We have Ukrainian Eggs here in Singapore's supermarkets. It would be delicious if Ukraine negotiated military aid with eggs.

[-] slartibartfast@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago

Can I not offer him an egg in this trying time?

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Not this time. I'm sorry, jon.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 14 points 10 months ago

Just eat all the bird flu "infected" chicken eggs.

They're not harmful. That's just liberal propaganda.

[-] Ghost33313@beehaw.org 9 points 10 months ago

Wash it down with raw milk. They will cancel out.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 3 points 10 months ago

What about a strong light inside the egg?

Funny he added a 250% tarrif on dairy products at my grocery store eggs were always referred to as part of the dairy products. It would be a shame if someone read the cia sabatoge manual and happened to interpret this new tariff like grocery stores would.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 11 points 10 months ago

Trump admin can go fuck itself!

[-] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 10 points 10 months ago

I suppose Canada and Mexico are not likely sources of eggs anymore.

[-] mcteazy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

The only choice is to get them from Mexico or Canada, two countries they severely pissed off. Getting eggs from elsewhere would probably require to fly them in, which would be rather costly. And result in a lot of scrambled eggs, if American air space does not get safer.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago

No thanks. Maybe tax the eggs more and use the funds to subsidize vegetables

[-] baggins@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

So, he's been left with egg on his face then?

I'll see myself out 😉

[-] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Egg.

Egg.

Egg.
