In multiple social media posts and public remarks this week, President Donald Trump dismissed political concerns over the growing affordability crisis that he has made worse during his second term by touting a Walmart press announcement that its 2025 Thanksgiving dinner bundle costs less this year than last year.
But when NBC News White House correspondent Monica Alba noted that this year’s bundle contains less food than last year’s, Trump immediately asked which network she was affiliated with and then replied: “Fake news. You’re fake news.”
