Robert Reich Reveals Harsh Realities of Thanksgiving in the Trump Era

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich has disputed assertions from Trump supporters that Thanksgiving meals are less expensive this year. In a recent video and Substack newsletter, Reich highlighted the true economic situation.

Reich, who served in President Bill Clintons Cabinet, explained why the prices of turkey, side dishes, desserts, coffee, and other staples have continued to climb during Donald Trumps second term, despite Trumps campaign promise to lower costsa promise Reich described as the main reason people voted for him.

Grocery prices are at their highest levels in years, and several of Trumps policies are exacerbating the problem, Reich said, emphasizing his long-standing criticism of Trumps economic approach. Trump does not want the public to understand this. He is actively working to hide how rapidly prices are increasing.

Reich concluded: The reality is that rising grocery costs caused by Trumps failure to deliver on his key promise affect everyone, regardless of political preference, making this Thanksgiving particularly expensive.
