"That's a big number. Walmart's respected. I mean, Walmart is Walmart, and, you know, they're giving you prices."

I'm obeying the 4 paragraph rule here, and assume DU has seen the story about the meal being "cheaper" because there are fewer ingredients, and Walmart substituted their generic brand for brand-named foods in the 2024 version,

'Con job!' Trump snaps at reporter over fact check on his big Thanksgiving claim

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-thanksgiving-meal-meltdown-con/

"So I just heard this yesterday that Walmart said that the Thanksgiving was 25 more expensive, 25% more expensive under Biden," he continued. "That's a big, to me, that's a big number, because Walmart's respected. I mean, Walmart is Walmart, and, you know, they're giving you prices."

"So that would mean that the whole series of pricing and costs, you know, the groceries and everything else, it was a con job. It was a con job, affordability, they call it, was a con job by the Democrats. The Democrats are good at a few things, cheating in elections and conning people with facts that aren't true."

Trump repeated the claim that the Thanksgiving meal cost was down 25%.

"Walmart just announced it!" he exclaimed. "Two days ago, 25% cheaper! This year will be cheaper to have Thanksgiving than it was a year ago under Sleepy Joe Biden!"

How did we get stuck with this complete dumbass?

3. There are 25% fewer items in this Thanksgiving bundle.

He's just getting more incoherent by the day.

"Walmart is Walmart."

The reporters ought to counter everything he says, because it's all going to be a lie.

6. They did...that's why I wrote the introductory sentence about the 4 paragraph rule

It's all at the link I provided, but right before the exchange in the post I shared here, the reporter said " it is cheaper, but it also contains less" and Trump replied "Fake news!"...

...and that's when Trump went on the "Walmart is Walmart" tangent, doubling down on the lie after being fact-checked.

10. His vocabulary is getting so limited, he can't even say Walmart is a discount store.

Of course, he probably has never been in one, but I bet the family gave him lots of money.

5. Note to Walmart

Dear Walmart,

Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company — instead of simply having a ‘cheaper’ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? It’s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEAST…

7. They're more likely to donate steaks to Trump's next Great Gatsby Ball, in exchange for political favors.

I think that if they wanted to do right by their employees in a rotten year, they would have already done it.

9. WTF are "FACTS that aren't TRUE"???

A fact is either a fact, or it isn't.

We all know what we pay.
