Even though the White House and Trump have both claimed that the Democratic romp in the 2025 election had nothing to do with him, the Trump administration tried to pivot and have the president give a speech about the economy and prices.
The White House’s plan to deal with higher prices is to lie and say there are no higher prices.
Here’s what Trump said about grocery and gasoline prices:
Gasoline prices have fallen to their lowest level in 20 years, and we will soon see $2 gasoline.
Think about that, $2 a gallon. It was up to four $55. And you know when you get gas and oil and gas down, it’s that big. It’s so great, its importance that everything else starts to follow, and that’s what happens. Grocery prices are much lower and Walmart. Walmart just announced that the cost of their standard Thanksgiving meal is at its highest.
They’re great, they’re great. Every year they come up with the question: How much does the Thanksgiving meal cost compared to last year? Right? And it always goes up, up, up. It is 40%, 30% more is 25% lower than a year ago. Isn’t that great?
Video clip of Trump talking about gasoline prices:
Gasoline prices are not $2 a gallon. That’s obvious to anyone in America who has had to fill up their tank. The president is lying, and he thinks if he keeps telling the American people that gas prices are $2/gallon, they will believe it.
Trump also lied about the cost of groceries and Thanksgiving dinner.
According to an analysis from Purdue University, the cost of turkey has skyrocketed: “The midpoint of Thanksgiving this year is accompanied by an especially steep price increase. Wholesale turkey prices have increased 75% since October 2024, reaching $1.71 per pound in October 2025..”
