Egg gone. Trump take egg.
Those are two of several phrases Americans are posting on social media to take a poke at U.S. President Donald Trump.
The term "Trump take egg" is a viral meme circulating online as U.S. consumers grapple with sky-high egg prices, an issue plaguing the U.S. in the midst of an avian flu outbreak. More than 166 million birds, 30 million of them egg-laying chickens, have been slaughtered to limit the virus's spread when cases are found.
As egg prices are predicted to jump 41 per cent this year, and Trump breaks his campaign promise to bring down food costs on Day 1, frustrated people online are posting photos of staggering egg prices and empty shelves with three pithy words: Trump take egg.
Sometimes, the posts, many of them on Bluesky, just say "where egg?" Or, "egg gone."
