The Democratic Party took a virtual beating on Monday over what was supposed to be a slam-dunk zinger at President Donald Trump’s expense: a post claiming that persistently pricey eggs had driven desperate American families to dye potatoes for Easter instead.
The post, shared by @thedemocrats on X, took aim at Trump’s administration for going ahead with the annual Easter Egg Roll – and allegedly racking up a considerable bill for the thousands of eggs used there — while the people were left to contend with their leftover painted spuds and disappointment.
“Trump’s White House is using 30,000 real eggs worth over $15,500 for their Easter Egg Roll. Meanwhile, Americans dyed potatoes instead of eggs this Easter to save money,” the post read.
