New meme 'Trump take egg' captures public frustration over soaring egg prices

A new meme, "Trump take egg," has gained popularity on social media as Americans express frustration over rising egg prices. The phrase originated from Michael Tae Sweeney, who noticed panic buying at a Costco due to soaring prices linked to avian flu. Egg prices have recently surged, with wholesale costs exceeding $8 per dozen. The meme has spread from Bluesky to other platforms like X and TikTok, allowing users to assign blame for economic issues to Trump in a humorous way. Polls show that 53% of Americans disapprove of Trump's economic handling, marking his lowest approval since 2017. The meme reflects growing public dissatisfaction with food prices and the government's response to inflation.
