President Donald Trump slapped himself on the back Thursday over a Waffle House announcement that it was dropping egg surcharges on customers' bills.
Posting a Tweet from the breakfast joint, Trump bragged about how successful he had been in bringing down egg prices.
The 50-cent charge had been added in February — during Trump's second term as president — as prices were affected by an outbreak of avian flu.
"Thank you President Trump!” the leader wrote on his Truth Social account Thursday.
"We brought the price of Eggs back to what they were supposed to be. When I took over on January 20th, the Fake News was screaming that, “Egg prices have gone through the roof, quadrupled,” they said. Now they’re plentiful, and inexpensive."
The Waffle House posted on X Tuesday, "Egg-cellent news…as of June 2, the egg surcharge is officially off the menu. Thanks for understanding!"
The average price of a dozen eggs was reported to be about $2.52 last month, down from more than $5 in February.
