NEW SONG ALERT: Hope They Enjoy Cheaper Eggs

Brando’s new song “Cheaper Eggs” calls out Trump supporters prioritizing obvious lies Donald Trump told them about the economy over loved ones’ rights.

In a searing video, Tennessee Brando, a MeidasTouch correspondent hailing from a deeply red state, took to social media to express frustration over the 2024 election outcome, asserting that many Trump supporters have “sold out their daughters’ futures for a carton of eggs.” Brando, who’s built a reputation for outspoken critiques of MAGA culture, delivers a stinging message about the stark choice he sees Americans facing—between empathy for family and friends or the allure of a cheaper grocery bill based on lies told by Donald Trump. The further irony, of course, is that inflation has cooled to target levels under the Biden-Harris administration following the economic devastation left by the previous Trump administration.

Brando’s thoughts come to life in his latest song, “Cheaper Eggs,” which layers sharp lyrics over an acoustic guitar melody to capture the disappointment of witnessing loved ones falling for Trump’s lies over protecting their loved ones lives. In his video, Brando denounces the trade-off some families make by turning a blind eye to harmful policies in exchange for economic promises. “They took a look at everything going on in the world… and they chose the grocery bill over their daughter,” he says.

Through his lyrics, Brando critiques Trump supporters who believe in economic relief through “cheaper eggs” yet fail to understand the broader implications, particularly for marginalized groups. His lyrics reflect this painful irony: “They sold out their daughters and threw away their friends / On a senseless notion, it could all be great again.”

The song is more than a criticism; it’s a lamentation and a call to recognize the real impact of such decisions. He warns that the consequences of these choices will likely haunt those who made them, as family ties erode over time. As he sings, “When they scream ‘we didn’t vote for this,’ remind them ‘yes, you did.’ And ask them how it’s going with those cheaper eggs.”

In both his video and song, Brando shows how the MAGA movement’s loyalty to Trump, even at the cost of personal relationships, highlights a disturbing dynamic—where economic concerns are amplified, even as the well-being of loved ones is disregarded. Brando’s message to his fans is clear: voting for Trump based on the promise of cheaper groceries is not worth the cost of alienating those we care about, and someday, they may be left with only their cheap eggs and regrets.

Here are the full lyrics for “Cheaper Eggs” by Tennessee Brando:

The red hats are flexing,

They’re all acting thrilled

They don’t know how tariffs work

By soon they sure will

They think the leader saved them

He’s restored their faith

But we see they cut their noses off

To spite their on face

They sold out their daughters,

Threw away their friends

On a senseless notion it would all be great again.

But when they scream we didn’t vote for this remind them that they did

And ask them how it’s going with them cheaper eggs

We pointed out the obvious

They called us a liar

Got their information straight from a dumpster fire

Now they’re turning up the hatred, beating their own chest

For a man who wouldn’t wipe his nose on their Sunday best

They pinned all their faith on the Devil’s coat

So now is their time to all sit back and gloat

But once the dust settles and reality creeps in

They’ll slowly realize the true enemy within
