In the wake of Republicans heavy election losses on Tuesday, President Donald Trump has responded to voters growing concerns by insisting the economy is actually experiencing a golden age.
As tangible proof, he has pointed to the cost of Walmarts Thanksgiving meal bundle, which is roughly 25% less expensive this year than it was last year.
Grocery prices are way down, and Walmart just announced that the cost of their standard Thanksgiving meal this is the greatest, their greatest, Trump said in a speech to the American Business Forum on Wednesday, adding: It is 25% lower than one year ago. Thats a big deal.

(193,868 posts)There was a restaurant in the mall. It had been there forever. I thought it was odd given their folksiness. My father in law and I went. Apparently it was a very popular thing to do. There was a sign. 10-12 orders waiting in line. Done in 5 minutes.
I think can still order getting a deep fried turkey from Popeyes. I didnt know Wally World did this either.

(1,492 posts)Grocery prices are outrageous, and have been for a long time. Trump has made them much higher with his racist policies. Walmart can stick that turkey meal straight up Trump's lying ass. As to thanksgiving, skip the turkey and get bologna, because that holiday is pure baloney!
