    This argument will never hold up in court. The same measures that ensure animals are well treated, will often prevent the spread of diseases. Those inhumane production methods they are advocating, very often lead to higher transmission rates among captive bird populations.

      It doesn’t matter. This is all about optics and red meat for the base. Trump can’t do anything for the egg prices, so he needs to find a scapegoat. He can now point out that his administration is taking concrete actions to address the egg prices. Scratch the surface and the whole thing crumbles. But that’s the case for most of the Trump cinematic universe.

          Yes, but the point of this isn’t to win in court. The point is in the fighting. It is a stage performance. The actual outcome of the trial is predetermined but irrelevant to this whole political exercise.
