Trump’s Statement
“Grocery prices are way down, and Walmart just announced that the cost of their standard Thanksgiving meal — this is the greatest, their greatest. It is 25% lower than one year ago. That’s a big deal.”
He made these remarks during a speech at the American Business Forum on Wednesday.
