Democrats Criticize Trump White House Over Real Eggs at Easter Egg Roll

Democrats criticized the Trump White House for using 30,000 real eggs at the annual Easter Egg Roll, arguing that high egg prices forced many Americans to dye potatoes instead. However, critics quickly pointed out that the eggs used at the White House event were donated by farmers and were not the sizes typically sold in stores, meaning no eggs were diverted from consumers. Social media users and commentators mocked the Democrats' claim, noting that there was little evidence of Americans actually dyeing potatoes for Easter, with some referencing longstanding TikTok trends unrelated to recent egg prices. Reports also highlighted that egg prices had begun to decrease by the time of the event, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins emphasized the administration's efforts to reduce food costs. The controversy largely stemmed from a single line in a New York Times article, but was amplified by partisan criticism on social media. The debate underscores how traditional events can become flashpoints for broader political arguments over the economy and presidential policies.
