Trump gets community note on X after Thanksgiving affordability brag

President Donald Trump bragged that he was delivering on affordability for Americans after Walmart shared that its annual Thanksgiving meal was cheaper than last year’s — though Internet sleuths are skeptical whether that is actually the case.

    This guy thinks a dementia test is used to measure IQ, too.

    In other words, he is entirely unfit for the job.

    I knew it was wrong the instant it popped up on the White House site…

    https://ag.purdue.edu/cfdas/chew-on-this/the-expected-cost-of-your-thanksgiving-turkey-in-2025/

    "Wholesale turkey prices have surged 75% since October 2024, reaching $1.71 per pound in October 20251. This comes after prices dipped substantially from 2023 to 2024. This year, we are seeing the continued impacts of the ongoing battle with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) that first appeared in February 2022. "

      And this year’s list has 6 less items, plus the items on this year’s list are mostly generic, vs last year when most of them were national brand s.

          My guess would be that you boil the can before serving.

          Barf.

      An informational note that is appended to the post itself, not a regular user reply, if that’s what you’re thinking. Glad it wasn’t “slammed” though

    I’m sure it is cheaper. It’s also smaller, and lower quality food.

    I gotta be honest, that’s a pretty sad Thanksgiving spread. I get it, not everyone’s a great cook and/or has the desire to toil over an elaborate meal, but homemade mac and cheese is not that hard and totally worth it.

    Trump touted on his Truth Social platform Wednesday that Walmart’s Thanksgiving dinner this year was “down 25% since under Sleepy Joe Biden!”

    Can you believe the balls on this a$$hole?

    It’s smaller and meant to feed 2 more people (2024: 21 items for 8 people. 2025: 15 items for 10 people). What the fuck?
