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.

    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. "
