Frank Luntz proudly touts himself as a political consultant and pollster, though many would argue that’s a bit of a stretch—he’s wrong more often than not. It seems Frank came down with a nasty case of Stage 5 TDS, and as we all know, one of the symptoms is losing all sense of logic and common sense while saying and doing incredibly stupid things.
President Trump noticed Frank’s anti-Trump bias way back in 2015, calling out his slanted panels. Frank has always been a card-carrying member of the GOP and Democrat establishment, playing both sides of the aisle to keep himself in the game.
Frank’s political intuition has always been pretty questionable. Who could forget that infamous 2016 tweet where he confidently predicted—beyond a shadow of a doubt—that Hillary Clinton would be the next president of the United States?
Great instincts, Frank.
Most of us are pretty used to Frank Luntz saying things that don’t quite add up. But nothing could top the sheer buffoonery of his latest statement. In a totally boneheaded move, Frank lumbered onto X and posted what might be the dumbest Thanksgiving take in history. It was so bad, the internet practically fed him his own toupee, with scores of blistering comments calling him out.
So, what did Frank say? Pull up a chair, because this one’s a doozy. For some bizarre reason, Frank is still doing his best to run cover for the Biden regime—even after Kamala got absolutely demolished at the polls. But Frank, ever loyal to the people lining his pockets, seems happy to toss what little is left of his reputation in the trash. In a desperate attempt to make the U.S. economy and skyrocketing inflation look better than they really are, Frank shared a CNBC article claiming the cost of Thanksgiving dinner has dropped. According to Frank and CNBC, you can now feed 10 people for just $58. Yes, you heard that right—58 bucks total to feed 10 people.
Are these people smoking a peace pipe with Hunter Biden?
Where is Frank shopping, in local dumpsters?
Here’s the post that started it all:
The average cost of #Thanksgiving dinner (estimated at $58.08 for a 10-person gathering) has dropped 5% since last year – the lowest since 2021. 🦃https://t.co/U5KDj9AlxQ

And if that wasn’t bad enough, Frank then doubled down and posted this:
Imagine trying to feed 10 people with these skimpy items. Don’t fill up on the peas, folks.
Thanksgiving dinner at Frank’s house sounds pretty darn awful.
In light of the fake news CNBC article and absurd validation from Frank Luntz, we asked ChatGPT for a far more realistic estimate of the cost of Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people in the US, and here’s the response:
You’re right, Revolver; the $58.08 estimate for a Thanksgiving dinner for ten people is a basic average that doesn’t account for the full range of ingredients and quantities typically used, especially when considering seconds, leftovers, and additional items like beverages and desserts.
Expanded Cost Breakdown:
Turkey: A 16-pound turkey averages $25.67.
Stuffing Mix: Approximately $4.08 for 14 ounces.
Sweet Potatoes: Around $2.93 for 3 pounds.
Dinner Rolls: About $4.16 per dozen.
Cranberries: Approximately $2.35 for 12 ounces.
Pumpkin Pie Mix: Around $4.15 for a 30-ounce can.
Pie Crusts: Approximately $3.40 for two.
Whipping Cream: About $1.81 for a half-pint.
Whole Milk: Around $3.21 per gallon.
Additional Considerations:
Beverages: Wine and other drinks can add $20 to $50, depending on selection.
Butter, Spices, and Miscellaneous Ingredients: These can contribute an additional $10 to $20.
Extra Sides and Desserts: Including items like green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and additional pies can add another $20 to $30.Estimated Total:
Considering these additions, a more comprehensive estimate for a Thanksgiving dinner for ten people ranges between $100 and $150, depending on specific choices and quantities.
It’s important to note that regional price variations and individual preferences can significantly influence the total cost. Additionally, while some staple items have decreased in price this year, others, such as dinner rolls and cranberries, have seen increases.
Therefore, while the $58.08 figure provides a baseline, actual expenses for a full Thanksgiving feast are likely higher when accounting for all components and desired quantities.
And that’s probably still way too low. Realistically, for every 10 people, you’re likely looking at closer to 300.
Frank Luntz certainly got an earful from the internet, with plenty of people calling him out for spreading this fake news. Here’s what folks had to say to Mr. Luntz:
“Oh yes, green peas- a staple side dish for Thanksgiving. Idiot”
“Yet somehow my grocery cart filled with Thanksgiving dinner fixings for 5 people rang up to over $200. This is just so much BS. The deviled eggs, and eggs needed to make that pumpkin pie alone are going to blow that number up.”
“That list feeds 3-4 people you fool.”
“Frank, have you ever stepped foot in a grocery store?”
” No mashed potatoes? No gravy? No marshmallows for the sweet potatoes, much less butter? ONE can of cranberry sauce for TEN people? One roll each? There are gonna be a lot of hangry men at your meal, Frank.”
“This shit right here is why nobody trusts the media or these dumbass experts”
“Imagine 10 people gathered around a single can of cranberries, get out a food measure, and eat exactly 1.2 ounces apiece? On Thanksgiving?!? Get outta here.
“Frank you just eating that cubed stuffing without butter, chicken broth, onion, etc?”
“anyone who believes this bullshit doesn’t buy their own groceries.”
“What are we feeding them, Ritz crackers, turkey jerky & an apple?”
“Perfect example of a government agency putting out propaganda and a pathetic puppet pushing it”
“Just spent $239.44 for 8 of us. And still didn’t buy all of what I usually cook. That would’ve added an additional $80(approx) . *at Kroger in GA*”
“frank still thinks he can direct a narrative. They haven’t figured out that we are on to them.”
“Frank has his servants buy his groceries, so he has no real world experience in this”
“Ask yourself why he is pushing this narrative? That is the real question ”
“Frank I’ve been cooking thanksgiving dinner for 20yrs. I also do all my grocery shopping. I can honestly say you have no idea what you’re talking about. This proves to me you don’t do your own shopping. Why can’t you ever be accurate.”
“CNBC can stop gas lighting us. The election is over.”
“Excuse me ??? Clearly you haven’t went grocery shopping. For our 10 person thanksgiving our cost was $250. You’re insane if you think working class families believe this”
“”Each guest will receive one can and a plastic spork. Entertaining is my passion.” ~ Frank Luntz”
“CNBC tells you that you can feed 10 people for $58, and then to prove it they use a photograph containing $500 worth of food. Ladies and gentlemen, this is program/conditioning, designed to generate apathy, and lead to resignation. Luntz is, as always, just the enabler.”
“Frank wants you to believe that 10 people can eat Thanksgiving dinner for $58. At a price of $5.80 per person. This is how you got Trump, Frank.”
“If you believe you can buy enough groceries to feed 10 people on Thanksgiving for less than $60, I’ve got some beautiful oceanfront property in South Dakota to sell you”
It seems like every single comment was negative—we couldn’t find one person who agreed with Frank. And the folks pointing out this blatant gaslighting are absolutely right. Stuff like this only makes people trust the media and so-called “experts” even less. The media still hasn’t figured out that we don’t buy their nonsense anymore. Not only do we ignore it, but we mock and trash them for it. And when the propaganda really flows, we’re happy to feed them their toupee too. After all, Frank’s going to need to polish off that toupee if he plans on staying full on that $5.80 Thanksgiving dinner he’s promoting.
