Donald Trump's administration has pleaded with European countries to supply the US with eggs, as American consumers face soaring costs for the food item back home. The request from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) comes after Trump slapped tariffs on EU imports of steel and aluminium and threatened to charge 200% levies on European alcoholic drinks.

According to a report recently released by the US Customs and Border Protection, since October border officers have seized 3,768 poultry-related products compared to only 352 fentanyl seizures across all US borders. And it doesn’t look like it’s going to let up anytime soon. Egg prices are expected to rise by as much as 41.1 percent through 2025.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidWHere are they? Didn't Trump say he would be deporting them?
It WAS 12 million, now it's coming out that Biden was lying about even that and hiding the real numbers. Latest estimate is 20.

@wildgrass saidHe's working on it. You have any suggestions on how to find them since Biden didn't bother keeping track of them?

@Cliff-Mashburn saidYeah, right. You're asking me for suggestions? Is this another case where Trump had a vague concept of a plan? 20 million people he can't find more than 20,000 of them? Feckless or dishonest, you pick.

After all the Biden complaints, it turns out he was more effective at deporting immigrants than Trump is. That's despite the influx of money spent on the issue. Smells like corruption to me.

Why doesn’t Trump just slap a tariff on European eggs and make them pay the higher price on them ? 😆 😆 😆 😆
@moonbus saidI think you poached that idea.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidC'mon, Duke, over easy now -- my brains are not nearly as scrambled as Trump's. Besides, I have a sunny side, and he doesn't.

@moonbus saidThat would be too over-easy.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidLibs are quite literal, I have learned. Some things, there are just no analogies for!!! Like , I know that is a baby boy in your tummy, I want him in my lap now!!
Yeah he stepped on his dick with that one, but it's been 8 weeks now after taking office and it looks like he's close to delivering.
All Biden did was keep fanning the flames and making things worse.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidThe 20 billion was a lie, and it was every time that Trump said it.
It WAS 12 million, now it's coming out that Biden was lying about even that and hiding the real numbers. Latest estimate is 20.
And the real number is/was 11 million.
You guys always have to inflate numbers like this to make things look worse than they really are. You are the Party of Lies.
@AverageJoe1 saidJust stop talking.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidYou want us to tell him how to be an actual president, too?
He's working on it. You have any suggestions on how to find them since Biden didn't bother keeping track of them?
Forget it. His ego got him into this, his ego will get him fired.
