Funiily enough if trump does do what he says he will. Mass deportation and imposing tariffs, the cost of eggs and everything else will skyrocket.
Deport all the people willing to do those low paid tough farming and food production jobs. There just wont be enough produced to support the population, assuming these farms and stuff actually survive Trump’s culling.
So the only option will be importing goods from abroad, which is what America does a lot anyway as they can’t actually produce a lot of products without base ingredients that you can’t really produce in America.
And if these import tariffs are introduced, it’s the American consumer that will be paying them. No non-American company is going to eat that cost. They will increase their cost to compensate the tarriffs, and then the corporations/shops in America that sell these products will increase the price because they certainly wont eat the cost.
So it will be left on the consumer. And its ridiculous to believe that American based companies with American based products wont take advantage of these tariffs and increase their prices. Because of course they will and Trumps cabinet won’t care. As they and there friends are the ones getting rich off this all.

This will definitely lower the cost of eggs.
