This guy thinks a dementia test is used to measure IQ, too.
In other words, he is entirely unfit for the job.

I knew it was wrong the instant it popped up on the White House site...

"Wholesale turkey prices have surged 75% since October 2024, reaching $1.71 per pound in October 20251. This comes after prices dipped substantially from 2023 to 2024.

An informational note that is appended to the post itself, not a regular user reply, if that's what you're thinking. Glad it wasn't "slammed" though

It's smaller and meant to feed 2 more people (2024: 21 items for 8 people. 2025: 15 items for 10 people). What the fuck?
