Hi there, everyone. Happy Friday. It's now 4 o'clock in New York. It is officially, as of today,

the Marie Antoinette presidency. While 42 million Americans go without critically important food assistance and millions more,

struggle with huge increases in the cost of everything from rent to health care,

to what Donald Trump himself describes as, quote, the grocery.

The president who is elected in large part because of the price of eggs,

and Donald Trump's promise over and over and over again

that he would bring the prices down, says, well, let them eat well done steak. Here's what he actually

said last night in response to questions about the public's growing concern that the Trump

administration is doing nothing to lower the cost of living.

I call the Democrats con men and women.

They make up numbers.

But when you look at 25% reduction in costs for Thanksgiving between Biden and me,

meaning this administration, that's a tremendous number.

That's the biggest reduction in cost in the history of that chart or whatever it is they do. They do a synopsis of everything. They cover every element of

Thanksgiving meals, 25% down. So I don't want to hear about the affordability because right now we're much less.

None of that is true. But there you have it in a nutshell. Trump's saying in a fact, just stop talking about it.

As we reported right here yesterday, that specific thing he said about that specific meal at Walmart, the Thanksgiving basket that they market.

Trump's talked about it now two days in a row, but either he's intentionally lying or nobody told him

that when you look, not even at the fine print, but at the items in the basket, it has half as many items, including no pecan pie, no brand name

items. Literally, 29 items in last year's bucket basket when Biden was president 15 in the Trump

Thanksgiving dinner basket from Donald Trump. And so the reason it costs less is because it

has literally half as many items.
