President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce that Americans will pay "25% less" for a standard Thanksgiving meal this year compared to last year.
He cited a price reduction in Walmart's annual Thanksgiving meal package as proof that his economic policies are working for everyday Americans.
Trump asserted that affordability is being restored under his watch after four years of inflated prices during former President Joe Biden's term — and he urged critics to "stop lying" about rising food prices.
The president also linked the cheaper cost of the holiday meal to broader claims of lower costs "than the Democrats" across the board, "especially oil and gas."
Analysts, however, caution that while inflation has eased from its peak, many households still face hardship, and the festive savings may not be evenly felt across all income levels.
Still, Trump positioned the price drop as a political win — highlighting Thanksgiving as a symbol of renewed American prosperity under his leadership.
Full Truth Social Post: "2025 Thanksgiving dinner under Trump is 25% lower than 2024 Thanksgiving dinner under Biden, according to Walmart. My cost are lower than the Democrats on everything, especially oil and gas! So the Democrats 'affordability' issue is DEAD! STOP LYING!!!"
