    He’s already screwed the country in countless ways in a month. Why can’t he sign one of those executive orders for egg prices? Subsidize egg prices with all the money he’s supposedly saving? He’s already ignoring laws and courts, I have difficulty believing he is helpless.

      My understanding is that he’s giving $400 million in direct subsidies to egg farmers, as part of a $1 billion package to USDA to lower the cost of eggs.

        My understanding is that he’s giving $400 million in direct subsidies to egg farmers, as part of a $1 billion package to USDA to increase the profits of egg producers.

        I think my edit is probably closer to the mark
