When it comes to directing unhinged attacks at President Donald Trump, few public figures are more experienced than “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg. She put that skill to use again this week with an easily disprovable assertion about the price of eggs, which has become a rallying issue among some of Trump’s far-left critics. As Breitbart reported in its fact-check of her claim: Egg prices have not fallen by “one cent” since President Donald Trump took office, “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg gushed Wednesday. She’s wrong. Egg prices have fallen 44 percent since the start of 2025 after prices had soared to record levels under former President Joe Biden’s administration, according to Trade Economics. Despite the significant fall in egg prices, Goldberg claimed she has not seen these prices fall in any way, shape or form. Her remark was widely disputed on social media too: Whoopi Goldberg baselessly and falsely claimed that egg prices have not dropped since Trump took office. This is false, here’s the context: These figures are wholesale prices, which have dropped significantly (up to 55% by early April).

This is false, here’s the context: These figures are wholesale prices, which have dropped significantly (up to 55% by early April). The USDA notes a 3-5 week delay for retail reflection. 1. March 7, 2025: $6.85 (down $1.32 or 16.2% from $8.17 peak). 2. March 11, 2025: $6.08 (down $0.77 or 11.2% from $6.85). 3. March 14, 2025: $4.15 (down $1.93 or 31.7% from $6.08). 4. March 21, 2025: $3.27 (down $0.88 or 21.2% from $4.15). 5. March 28, 2025: $3.00 (down $0.27 or 8.3% from $3.27). 6. April 5, 2025: $2.92 (down $0.08 or 2.7% from $3.00). Total drop from January 21 ($6.55) to April 5 ($2.92): $3.63 or 55%. Retail prices trail behind, with February at $5.90, dropping 10-20% by April. Caryn Elaine Johnson aka Whoopi Goldberg has run out of things to blame on Trump, so she jumps on the Egg price bandwagon pic.twitter.com/dfvVWUYYZw — • ᗰISᑕᕼIᗴᖴ • (@4Mischief) April 12, 2025 The multimillionaire talk show host also courted controversy with her elitist advice that struggling Americans should simply “suck it up” and pay more taxes. As GB News reported: Goldberg’s criticism of Trump’s policy and encouragement of US members of the public to do more hasn’t sat well with several tax-payers Stateside. After clips of Goldberg’s claims went viral, one X user hit back: “Whoopi Goldberg says Americans need to be paying more taxes. Isn’t it interesting how generous Hollywood liberals are with other people’s money? Whoopi is free to donate to US Government if she likes. She can just write a check or give electronically.” “What arrogance!! Whoopi needs to retire,” a second raged before a third hit out: “Dear Whoopi, please send that message to your fellow millionaires & billionaires because they’re the ones not paying their fair share!” “Typical Hollywood elitist. Whoopi wants YOUR wallet while she lives in luxury. Trump cut taxes for WORKING Americans. Let’s keep it that way,” another raged before a fifth suggested: “No WHOOPI needs to give more in taxes.” (sic) Here’s a clip of that segment: Multi millionaire Whoopi Goldberg says Americans should “suck it up” and pay more in taxes pic.twitter.com/ObpZYF9pYu — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) April 11, 2025
