Donald Trump’s economic policy chief has been blasted on social media for purposely misinterpreting the outrage over the president’s false boasts about the cost of Thanksgiving dinner.
Kevin Hassett, whom Trump is reportedly considering as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, appeared on Fox News on Tuesday to defend the misleading claim that a Thanksgiving meal package from Walmart this year will be cheaper than in 2024.
As many people have pointed out, including This Week host Jonathan Karl during a Nov. 16 interview with Hassett on ABC News, Walmart’s Thanksgiving meal is cheaper this year because it contains fewer products, smaller unit sizes, and 15 percent generic brands—not because food prices are falling under the Trump administration.
