President Trump on Friday destroyed an NBC reporter when she asked about affordability in the United States and accused him of misrepresenting the economy and cost of Thanksgiving dinner this year.
The White House on Thursday touted reports showing that “across-the-board price declines for the holiday staples, with dinner rolls down 22%, frozen vegetables down 15%, and items like turkeys, stuffing, gravy mix, fresh cranberries, and pumpkin pies all costing less.”
Notably, per KARE11, Walmart is offering turkeys for $.97 per lb, the “lowest price since 2019.” Per Axios, this is despite the US facing its smallest turkey flock in decades, leaving a lower supply this Thanksgiving.
But if you read NBC News, they’d have you believe that Walmart is offering a smaller meal while claiming that Thanksgiving 2025 will cost less than it did last year. That’s what an NBC reporter tried to argue, lecturing the President that the meal “is cheaper, but it also contains less.”
“Who are you with?” Trump responded before lambasting the outlet as “Fake news,” adding, “NBC’s gone down the tubes along with most of the rest of them.”
The reporter then tried to accuse the President of lying about the economy, and Trump destroyed her, touting his economic agenda and reemphasizing that the cost of Thanksgiving dinner is up to 25% less than the year before.
” The Democrats are good at a few things, cheating on elections and conning people with facts that aren’t true,” he added. “This year will be cheaper to have Thanksgiving than it was a year ago under sleepy Joe Biden.”
The exchange occurred during a press conference with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as the two leaders met to discuss trade, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and energy, Trump said at the start of the press conference.
WATCH:
Reporter: Since you brought up the Walmart Thanksgiving meal, and it is cheaper, but it also contains less…
Trump: Fake news. NBC, you’re fake news! NBC’s gone down the tubes along with most of the rest of them.
Reporter: Why do you think there’s such a disconnect between the economy that you’re describing today and the way that many Americans say that they are feeling?
Trump: Well they feel better about our country right now, other than the shutdown, obviously, which is caused by the Democrats, could be ended by the Democrats in two minutes. They feel much better, we have more jobs. We just set a record on jobs, you do know that. We have more investment in our country than any country in history. We’re over $18 trillion, as of this moment, and we’re going to be maybe at 20 or 21 trillion by the time I finish up my first year. And there’s been no country, China, no country anywhere in the world that’s done anywhere even close to that number.
Your friend Biden, as an example, in four years, was less than a trillion. We’ll be at $21 trillion in one year. So, there’s no country that was even close to that, and our country was a laughing stock all over the world. We have more jobs, we have more potential than any other country, and frankly, we’re the hottest country right now. Viktor said to me before, we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. Think of it, we’ll have 20-$21 trillion invested. We have auto plants pouring back in. We have AI pouring back in. We’re leading China in AI by a lot. We’re leading everybody in every category. There’s no category that we’re in second place.
So, I just heard this just yesterday that Walmart said that the Thanksgiving was 25 more expensive, 25% more expensive under Biden. 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 by the Democrats. The Democrats are good at a few things: cheating on elections and conning people with facts that aren’t true. It was 25%, Walmart just announced it two days ago, 25% cheaper, this year will be cheaper to have Thanksgiving than it was a year ago under sleepy Joe Biden.
