European Diplomats should send real eggs, personally and ballistically, direct to the White House. I think that would send the proper message.
Now now let's not waste food.
We can use @[email protected] 's suggestion and ballistically "send" eggs that are already rotten....
Here's your eggs, motherfuckers
As Americans are apparently too stupid to be entrusted with Kinder eggs, that might solve some problems.
Send real eggs, but "forget" about the travel time so they arrive rotten.
Now you're talking
US authorities have turned to Europe for help
Good luck with that.
He slapped Europe with additional tariffs and now wants their help? Weird. Orange. Vibing without eggs.
Be an ass on the international scene. Show you are untrustworthy and do everything you can to not pay a bill. Just be generally unreliable as a trade partner.
Get turned down when you ask internationally for help.

Hands of my eggs, Trumputler.
Btw these are egss which are safe to eat raw.
And around easter we get these sort of eggs as well:
Solid chocolate/nougat in real eggshell. Handmade. Delicious.
Nice, how do they make them? Do they just blow the yolk out and inject the nougat? Could try making it at home.
They cut a little hole at the bottom, like they size of a pinky tip, then empty and clean the egg, fill with nougat and close it with a sugar cap.
Awesome
They sell chocolate eggs with butter cream inside here in Norway. Packaged in egg cartons. Shame they are so expensve.
I don't see any of me in that picture.
The most infuriating thing is that Trump gets to take a victory lap no matter what.
If a country gives us eggs, he gets to pretend to be a hero by saying he strong armed them into "surrendering." Then he'll say they're inferior eggs and encourage his cult not to buy them anyway.
If they a country doesn't, he gets to call them evil and will use that as justification for slapping massive tariffs on them. Then he'll say American eggs are the best and that he always supported American farmers. He'll probably say something like "they tried to smuggle their eggs into our market but I stopped them!"
The most frustrating part is that my grocery store has so many eggs. The shelves aren’t empty. In fact, there are cartons on the shelves which are weeks old at this point. And that means supply is outpacing demand at the current prices. People are seeing the increased prices, and simply using less eggs. Which means prices could feasibly drop while we continue to have eggs on the shelves.
This price increase is just more greedflation. Studies have shown that the bird flu issue should have only increased the price by 12-15%, but here we are with increases in the high triple digits. Why sell ten cartons of eggs at $1 each, when you could simply sell two cartons at $6 each and make more money than if you had sold ten cartons?
Fucking A so true. Just this morning I watched a employee empty a shelf of eggs and put them a grocery basket. It was a shit ton of eggs that gone bad.
The US doesnt have a real egg shortage btw. There is also no impact that is larger than in previous years from the bird flu. The egg monopolists are just making/buying fewer egg laying hens and producing fewer eggs to drive the prices and profit margins up.
This entire "egg shortage" could be solved in a matter of weeks if Trump ordered the companies to do so.
Yup. Egg production is down ~2% from last year. Prices have doubled.
Egg monopolists are just saying "Fuck you, Pay me" and price gouging. Most of this country's problems stem from not breaking up big business.
Or eggs do cost that much to produce in the US. Pinning this problem on Big Egg seems like the easiest solution, but I have an inkling this stuff goes deeper.
Lol, "your inkling" aside, the fact is that there is no actual egg shortage. Your theory requires that eggs somehow became twice as expensive to produce in the US this past year. However, the price of eggs paid to producers has not gone up.
Sure, "corporate greed" is my assumption, but only because it's behind nearly every problem facing this country.
Good. Fuck trump.
That’s is such a polite way to say we aren’t helping you.
