We decided not to publish the Trump Tracker every week. It’s tedious. Instead, we’ll digest many news stories and, depending on relevance, we’ll post a blog when needed.

The tariff issue is now center stage for the following reasons: (a) the dollar has tanked [1]; (b) the stock market is tops y-turvy. The latter is troublesome since Trump has always held the position that good stock market performance is positively correlated with good governmental policies.[2]

Set aside the latter for now.

But it isn’t tariffs alone. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is already compromised since: (a) to appease the DIMRATS and some in the GOP, based on a Larry Kudlow show, corporate tax rates and taxes for the ultra-wealthy could actually increase, contrary to what Trump campaigned on; (b) the chances this Bill will get passed is now in doubt. That’s why Trump asked Elise Stefanik to step down as the UN Ambassador and return to the House—every vote counts now.

What has all this got to do with the image art for this Tracker?

Well, let’s ask this question instead: why did the price of eggs drop dramatically? Here’s the data.

According to an Axios report, “The average wholesale price of a dozen eggs was down 8% from $3.27 on March 21, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It’s down 63% from a record $8.15 in the Feb. 21 report,” the article reads. “Inventories are recovering amid a sudden and largely unexplained slowdown in bird flu cases. The Trump administration has also taken steps to boost egg imports to combat higher prices.”

That last sentence is key. Econ 101: when demand exceeds supply, increase supply to meet demand, else prices will go up.

And so, the Trump administration imported eggs from Turkey and South Korea to combat the soaring egg prices. That’s a TACTICAL response to the problem.

According to the Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, the administration is also focusing on STRATEGIC initiatives to combat egg prices from rising dramatically; for example, combating avian flu in the future.

All good, one assumes. But…

What “tariffs” did we pay for these extra eggs? That hasn’t been reported. And if we did pay an exorbitant amount, was that through the DOGE savings?

Instead of focusing on the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (the EGG) from the day Trump was sworn into office, he decided to focus on tariffs (the CHICKEN).

And that’s the problem. Natural Science confirms the EGG came first. Economics agrees.

ASIDE: For those DIMRATS still babbling about sexes, the EGG determines the sex: XY vs. XX. We know of no CHICKEN that identifies itself as XX when it was born XY, or vice-versa.[3]
