"The White House Rapid Response team reposted a screenshot of Trump's post to X, where a Community Note was soon attached to counter the spin: The reader-sourced correction pointed out that Walmart's 2025 Thanksgiving meal includes only 15 items, compared to 21 last year. Likewise readers found that and that many national brands had been replaced with cheaper private-label Great Value substitutes, directly citing Walmart's own corporate press releases from 2024 and 2025."
"Regardless, on Thursday morning, Trump posted the same claim again, declaring: 2025 Thanksgiving dinner under Trump is 25% lower than 2024 Thanksgiving dinner under Biden, according to Walmart. The note comes after a late October Washington Post-ABC News/Ipsos survey revealed that 59% of adults said they blame Trump either a great deal or a good amount for the current rate of inflation."
Trump promoted Walmart's claim of a 25% price drop on its annual Thanksgiving meal as evidence of greater affordability. Social media users and a Community Note pointed out that Walmart's 2025 Thanksgiving meal includes only 15 items versus 21 in 2024, and that many national brands were replaced with cheaper Great Value private-label products. The White House reposted the original claim, and Trump repeated it the next morning. A Washington Post-ABC News/Ipsos survey showed 59% of adults blame Trump substantially for current inflation, and many adults report paying more for groceries than a year earlier.
