"The bizarre statement came up as the curvy couch discussed Thanksgiving affordability, a major point of rage in the Donald Trump White House. After touting the findings of a recent Wells Fargo report that found the cost of a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people has fallen to $80, Fox & Friends co-hosts Campagno, Brian Kilmeade, and Griff Jenkins proclaimed that Thanksgiving is affordable again, despite consumer confidence being at a near-40-year low."
"I appreciate your point, Kilmeade, about what you hear and what you feel, Campagno said. Because no amount of statistics that are told to you matter unless you actually feel it at the table and you have your optimism. She added: I spoke with a very important correspondent at our Christmas tree lighting, Santa. And he told me that this year, he feels people have high sense of optimism he hasn't seen for a long time."
A Wells Fargo report found the cost of a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people declined to $80. Despite that data, consumer confidence sits near a 40-year low dating to 1987. On a Fox News segment, hosts presented Thanksgiving as affordable again and emphasized that personal feeling of affordability matters more than statistics. An anecdote was offered that Santa reported unusually high public optimism this year. The exchange tied affordability messaging to political stakes ahead of midterms and included a presidential clip touting efforts to make America affordable again and citing retailer price moves.
