Thank you for referencing that article Miami Rebel.

Target’s prices are up 5.5% nationwide this year and Walmart’s are up 5.3%, according to an analysis by DataWeave, which looked at roughly 16,000 items across each retailer’s website.


Except for the situation that both Target and Walmart are both front-ends for China if I understand correctly, tariff issues, the above statement is doubtful imo because Trump recently posted that Walmart is claiming that Thanksgiving this year will be 25% cheaper than Biden's last Thanksgiving in office.

2025 Thanksgiving dinner under Trump is 25% lower than 2024 Thanksgiving dinner under Biden, according to Walmart (11.6.25)

Wonder how many ever noticed the time of and rat of inflation or price gouging.

The day Trump tool office price gouging went into high gear.

As I and others have posted, the Wal-Mart Thanksgiving package comparison is meaningless and misleading. I honestly don’t know why they bothered with it.

This year’s basket contains 15 products, six fewer than the 21 products in the 2024 basket. Also, in the new basket there are more generic-labelled products than last year’s.

The headline “25% cheaper” never made sense in today’s economy.

All of your points are valid.

The problem is that President Trump has a problem with exaggerating what he can accomplish.

One of the themes of his campaign last year was that he’d bring prices down starting on his first day. (He also promised a quick resolution to the Russia-Ukraine War, but that conflict and other foreign wars don’t really resonate with middle American voters.)

You are a known Never Trumper so your words of doom for President Trump are meaningless.

Trump better put Little Marco on a leash and not even think about Venezuela (unless of course Maduro invades Guyana).

“While this weeks’ election results were awful...”

While this weeks’ election results were predictable with left wing voters electing left wing kooks in left wing cities...

Fixed it for ya, Mr. Somnambulist.

Yet you try to invalidate Trump for being a President or a Presidential candidate... I lost both my doctor and my insurance due to a presidential candidates' campaign lies. Exaggerating is not lying.

I invalidated nothing.

I noted that his claims have turned out to be exaggerations and provided two very clear instances of that. Are you denying that he said them??
