Trump Might Have to Ask Foes Like Trudeau for Emergency Eggs
Woah woah woah. Why the ever-loving fuck are they calling Trudeau a "foe"?! Are they just priming people to believe we're enemies now so that when the inevitable invasion comes they feel justified?!
Language matters and this is yet another disgusting betrayal.
Trump might need to ask his Canadian neighbour Trudeau for emergency eggs.
Not we, the Daily Beast is one overly dramatic headline away from a tabloid.
Or we could have leftover pizza for breakfast
Checkmate America.
What an odd way to signify 36 eggs
. "Twin cartons of two less a score m'lud" is what the egg valet relayed to me.
Step down, and sure..
8$?! lol, wtf.
I know where cheap eggs are…
Costco.
Got 2 dozen for $8 last weekend in Colorado (where they have to be cage free chickens). Costco is a pretty good place to shop.
I'm lucky enough to live in a place with a lot of local, organic eggs. $4/dozen at my grocery store
Yeah, I never thought I'd be happy to live in an area where chickens vastly outnumber people.
What shape is Russia’s egg industry in?
Ovoid, I presume.
Trudeau should provide eggs on these conditions:
Then send Trump the agreement for signature. Points #2 and #3 are obvious things to leave off a carton of eggs, until you tell Trump he can't have them, then they'll become a critical issue blocking his signature. Then go on Twitter and Truth Social and say "We have 2 billion eggs ready for you guys and Trump is refusing to let us send them" and let the shitstorm follow.
the best thing for the world right now would be for america to suffer the consequences of its poor decisions. the beatings must continue until we start making better decisions.
Oh cool, tarrif eggs... That will most certainly drive the costs down!
Nah, fuck that. Let’s see eggs go to $20/dozen.
I can vaguely remember what eggs used to cost
If trump keep “creating history” for another 50 days like he has been doing for the first 50 days so far, I surely wont remember what an egg look like.
Even some of my friends from China and Russia are taken aback by the level of vulnerability and obedience Americans seem to have towards brainwashing techniques.

Years ago, when Donald Trump was still just a reality TV star, I went to a conference in the US and talked for quite a bit of time with someone from Germany, who had grown up in East Germany before the Berlin Wall fell. He said that in his childhood, all the TV news and print media were filled with State propaganda. Nobody believed it. But everyone said they did, to avoid unwanted government scrutiny.
He remarked that the media in the US sounded very similar to the media that used to be in East Germany. And not just Fox News (the Conservative darling at the time). All the US media resembled the media in East Germany back in the day, to some extent. But he was very surprised to realize that Americans believed the media, as long as it agreed to their pre-conceived political beliefs. (And, worse yet, didn't believe the media that offered opposing viewpoints out of hand). Here we had the freedom to believe whatever we wanted, and we let ourselves get brainwashed.
Things have only gotten worse since Americans started getting their news online, from self-selected social media influencers.
Thanks for sharing this experience.
One mistake of East Germany (and Russia and China) was that their basic education is not that bad so people are able to figure out things don’t add up. America might be immune to this issue as it’s advancing to authoritarian.
Plus there are ultra rich class to assist and fine tune the brainwash technology to micro targeting each individual ( the “self selected“ influencers are not selected by yourself after all)
Yeah, the fascists learned their lesson and started dismantling our education system in the 70s.
Stuff that. We should all say "No" and make him go to his handlers in Russia for eggs.
Eggs.
Eggs.
Eggs.
If I keep posting this every time there are egg related political news stories, maybe it'll come true?
I put together a little short story about how I would like to see Donald Trump meet his demise. Drowning in eggs:
The Eggsecution.
The once-proud leader, now stripped of title and dignity, stands in the center of the barren, concrete abyss. The abandoned Olympic swimming pool—thirty feet deep, dry as bone—has become their final stage. Above, the gathered masses stretch in every direction, a writhing sea of anticipation.
They do not jeer. They do not boo.
They simply chant.
"Eggs. Eggs. Eggs."
It starts as a murmur, a low thrum of human voices vibrating in unison. Then it grows, swelling into a deafening roar that rattles windows, that shudders in the bones of every person present. A chant as ancient as it is absurd, a single-minded invocation of punishment.
The first egg arcs high overhead, tracing a lazy curve before splattering against the fallen leader’s shoulder. The yolk bursts, oozing down his baggy, ugly, now-useless suit. A streak of yellow, the first of many.
Another egg. Then another.
Then dozens.
The first impacts make them flinch, stagger—hands raised in a futile shield. But soon there are too many to dodge, too many to deflect. They curl inward as the sky rains viscous judgment. The chant never stops.
"Eggs. Eggs. Eggs."
Shells crack. Yolk drips. The scent of sulfur and shame thickens in the stagnant air. It coats their skin, their hair, their pride, turning them into something less than human. Something… egg-like.
At the top of the pit, a child—no older than seven—steps forward. They hold their egg with both hands, cradling it like something precious. Reverent. With a deliberate motion, they lob it downward. It strikes the leader square on the forehead, exploding with an almost musical plap. The crowd erupts into a fresh crescendo of cheers, but the chant never falters.
"Eggs. Eggs. Eggs."
No escape. No reprieve. The pit is smooth concrete, slick now with raw egg and humiliation. They can do nothing but stand there, endure, become part of the ritual.
Somewhere in the throng, a vendor hawks boiled eggs. Another sells cartons to the unprepared. A man in a chicken suit waves encouragingly at the crowd.
The night wears on, but the spectacle does not end.
It cannot end.
Not until the last egg is thrown. Not until the last voice is hoarse.
Not until the world is rid of this one, failed leader, broken not by swords or exile, but by the inescapable weight of public yolk and scorn.
"Eggs. Eggs. Eggs."
…spam spam spam egg substitute and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...
Trudeau should plan a meeting in Ottawa to sign the egg pact, then berate Trump's ill-fitting suit and say that Canada will slap a 100% export tariff on eggs to the US unless Trump hands over Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
He won't, because not even Trudeau is that big of an asshole.
i hope they all tell america to fuck right off. start selling that shit to countries that deserve it
Why? Sell that shit at a premium. Like sell every dozen at exactly 99 cents below the average price. If the capitalist oligarchy doesn't exploit this moment for all it's worth what are they even good for?
if anyone can pull off highway robbery like that its canadian grocery cartels. I'm sure they'd love to get in on the price-fixing.
the united states needs to suffer lest this festering fascism fall into complete dictatorship.
the average people must suffer in order to wrest the reigns of democracy from the oligarchs hands.
Spoiled eggs from Turkey sounds like a great way to Make America Sick Again, LOL. Dear Canadians, Please post photos of your inexpensive eggs. Additionally, please post photos of all the items you use eggs to make. Fuck trump.
I actually do have a photo of Canadian eggs ($3.79 CAD is about $2.50 USD)
We kind of don’t need to post pictures— our grocery stores have their marked up prices on their website https://www.loblaws.ca/en/search?search-bar=eggs
This is a good idea. Fuck trump. Fuck the republican traitor filth.
It's probably pasteurised eggs. And it's probably not direct to consumer either. Lots of things have eggs in them and those eggs were probably bought in jugs or barrels rather than dozens.
What a fucking Jackass
I wish Trump what he deserves.
I wish his supporters everything they voted for
The problem is, there is no way for only his supporters to feel the pain.
$50 eggs. I recognize so many citizens actually support these moves. This is a relatively harmless way to draw attention to more of these bad decisions.
By all means, let the price of eggs skyrocket. It’s the least harmless of what we collectively voted for.
