President Donald Trump was slapped with a fact-check after claiming that prices for Thanksgiving dinner were substantially lower this year. The president posted Thursday morning on Truth Social that this year’s holiday meal would be 25 percent lower than last year, under then-President Joe Biden, as his approval rating sags to its lowest depths ever under the weight of his handling of the economy, which remains the most important issue to 47 percent of Americans.”2025 Thanksgiving dinner under Trump is 25% lower than 2024 Thanksgiving dinner under Biden, according to Walmart,” Trump posted. “My cost are lower than the Democrats on everything, especially oil and gas! So the Democrats ‘affordability’ issue is DEAD! STOP LYING!!!”An official White House account, Rapid Response 47, posted on its X account a screenshot of an earlier Truth Social post making similar claims.”Walmart just announced that prices for Thanksgiving Dinner is now down 25% since under Sleepy/Crooked Joe Biden, in 2024,” Trump posted Wednesday evening. “AFFORDABILITY is a Republican Stronghold. Hopefully, Republicans will use this irrefutable fact!”However, the Rapid Response 47 post was refuted with a community note adding what fact checkers described as “missing context. The 2025 Walmart Thanksgiving meal contains 15 items while the 2024 meal contained 21 items,” fact checkers said. “Additionally, most of the brand name items in the 2024 meal were replaced with Great Value items.”The community note linked to a pair of posts on Walmart’s corporate website showing that prices for a sample Thanksgiving meal in 2024 for eight people worked out to $7 per person, with 21 menu items listed (although the store claimed 29 items were used), while a sample meal for 10 people in 2025 came out to under $4. 00 per person with 15 items on the menu.”The corporate propaganda machine colluding with the Trump propaganda machine to lie to the American people about Thanksgiving,” noted Ron Filipkowski, a former federal prosecutor.

The post Inflows of New Liquidity Have Dried Up: Crypto Daybook Americas appeared com. By Omkar Godbole (All times ET unless indicated otherwise) Bitcoin BTC$102,920. 99 continues to chop around $103,000, struggling to extend Wednesday’s recovery from under $100,000. The CoinDesk 20 Index is up 2% in 24 hours alongside 18% gains in ZEC, ICP and QNT. The crypto market currently resembles a game of musical chairs: Liquidity is shifting from one token to another, without any new influx, in what Wintermute calls a “self-funded mode.” New inflows have been slowing for months across all three channels through which capital enters the ecosystem: stablecoins, ETFs and digital asset treasuries (DATs), Wintermute said. U. S.-listed spot ETFs, for example, registered cumulative outflows of over $1. 5 billion in less than two weeks and demand from digital asset treasury firms has dropped sharply from third-quarter peaks. Interestingly, the absence of fiat inflows comes even as the M2 money supply in major countries continues to rise. This may be because the M2 increase, driven by fiscal spending, is aimed at stimulating a global capital expenditure cycle focused on technology, particularly AI, infrastructure, and boosting domestic demand. The key question is when will liquidity start flowing in again? Perhaps soon, as the Fed is “easing into a bubble,” as Ray Dalio described in his X post, calling it inflationary. Elevated inflation could sustain demand for gold and gold-like assets such as bitcoin. Altcoins involved in AI or those linked to beneficiaries of fiscal stimulus may also perform well, while others may struggle. For now, traders should watch bitcoin’s interaction with its 50-week simple moving average, a crucial bull market support since early 2023. A strong rebound here could signal new record highs.
