After Walmart heiress Christy Walton, the daughter-in-law of Walmart founder Sam Walton, ran a full-page advertisement in the New York Times urging readers to attend the’ No Kings Day ‘ protests on June 14, President Donald Trump’s birthday, MAGA activists launched a boycott call for Walmart. Walmart was swift to distance itself from Trump because the ad did not mention him. According to Walmart, Christy Walton does not sit on the company’s board and therefore never make any decisions. However, the damage is done as MAGA tones like Kari Lake and Laura Loomer were forced to speak against the Walmart management for allowing the advertising to be published in someone’s name. Yes, it specifically stated that Christy Walton’s sights are exclusive to those of the author and did not mention Walmart.
What was the message of Christy Walton’s advertisement?
According to reports, Christy Walton was responsible for paying for the advertising that read,” The honor, respect, and integrity of our country is not for price.” Additionally, it stated that the ad was a paid social advertising.
No Kings Day: What is it?
On Donald Trump’s day, June 14, which is also the US Army’s 250th day, liberals are organizing more than 1500 No Kings Day occasions throughout the nation. Ezra Levin, the organization’s administrator, claimed that the Zero Kings Day riots brought in many more supporters. No Kings Day was originally intended to be a demonstration against Donald Trump’s day, but protesters claim the president used the military to celebrate his birthday. The organizers said in a speech last month that” this country doesn’t relate to a ruler– and we’re not letting him put himself a festival that is funded by tens of millions of our tax money while stealing from us and robbing our people of our rights, our freedoms, and the programs our families rely on.”
Walmart and Trump conflict
Due to the financial burden of Trump’s taxes, Walmart just clashed with Trump over tariffs after it announced it would hike prices on various items, including gadgets, electronics, and food items like bananas and avocados. Trump attributed the tax to Walmart, saying that it should be “eatered” rather than passed on to consumers.
