The White House is doing what it does best: gaslighting Americans into thinking that Thanksgiving inflation is not as bad as they think it is.

Karine Jean-Pierre took the opportunity to show the country a chart that claims that “this Thanksgiving, prices are down.”

According to the chart, airline tickets are down 13.2%, car rentals 9.2%, toys 3.7%, televisions 9.4%, eggs 22.2%, milk 1.6%, bacon 5.1% and fresh vegetables 2.2%.

“In fact, according to the American Farm Bureau, the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner fell this year,” Jean-Pierre said confidently, adding, “Lowering costs for Americans continues to be the president’s top economic priority.”

Stu Burguiere isn’t buying it.

“Now, you’re going to be shocked to hear that this is not the full story from Karine Jean-Pierre,” he says.

Stu notes that the average cost for a 10-person Thanksgiving dinner in 2021 was $53.31, and the average cost for the same dinner today is $61.17.

“It’s obviously way up from two years ago, but it’s slightly down from last year. And so the White House thought it was a good idea to come out and brag about that to you,” he says.

The price of a Thanksgiving dinner is down 4.5% from last year, but up 25% compared to 2019.

“Which, of course, would make a little bit more sense to compare it to, not the highest priced year in our history. But maybe the pre-pandemic year when things were normal and the other guy was president, that might be a good year to compare it to,” Stu says.
