The post falsely claims that gas prices are coming down, when recent data from May 2026 shows they have surged to approximately $4.50 per gallon and are projected to hit record highs due to Middle East tensions. While the post accurately references past public frustration over high egg prices during the Biden administration, current egg prices are actually falling due to market oversupply.

Gas prices are coming down.Multiple May 2026 reports from AP News, GasBuddy, and the New York Post show that gas prices have surged from $2.98 to around $4.50 per gallon following geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with experts warning they could shatter the $5.03 record this summer.

✓ Confirmed
People lost it over egg prices under Biden.Egg prices did spike dramatically during the Biden administration (particularly 2022-2023) due to a severe avian flu outbreak, making it a prominent political and economic talking point. Current reports from May 2026 note that egg prices are now plunging due to oversupply.
Caveats
Gas prices fluctuate daily and may experience minor short-term dips, but the overall trend in May 2026 is sharply upward, contradicting the post's assertion of a downward trend.

False. Gas prices are rising, not falling. In May 2026, the national average surged to $4.50 per gallon and may hit record highs due to Middle East tensions. While egg prices did spike under Biden, they are now dropping due to oversupply.
