LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Walmart is facing online backlash after a full-page ad linked to billionaire philanthropist and heiress of Walmart, Christy Walton, was widely interpreted as a thinly veiled critique of President Donald Trump and his "Make America Great Again" rhetoric.

The ad, tied to the upcoming “No Kings Day” on June 14, which is also Trump's birthday, Flag Day, and the 250th anniversary of the US Army, urged Americans to honor alliances, reject dictators, and engage in civic discourse. While it didn’t mention Trump by name, many saw it as a pointed political statement that has reignited tensions in an already polarized climate.

All they are doing is bringing more attention to No Kings Day. Wal-Mart may see a downward tick in sales, but face it, many of the MAGA devotees that I know nearly live at Wal-Mart. The heiress is not the company. She has a right to voice her opinions.

They hated Elon too. Now they like him again. I think. So hard to tell with these loons.

Me neither. It must be the latest batch of Trump Flakes being fed to the goldfish.

A 2021 report from the Alliance for American Manufacturing stated that 70-80% of Walmart’s merchandise in the U.S. comes from Chinese suppliers, leaving less than 20% for American-made products.

It's a nationwide protest of commie faggots (with lots and lots of Conhugeco lnc. financial backing), to go out into the streets and screech ORANGE MAN BAD!! all at once.

No doubt whatsoever that there will be a big rush at the Homeboy Depots and Lowe's for plywood and 4" drywall screws.

I'm going to go a step further with the Bud light thing. That wasn't just a boycott that was a cultural upheaval with a lethal backlash. Yeah you're right though. Target went through the same stupidity that they brought on themselves.

Heir normally refers to male and heiress refers to female. Bit of a clash with the thread title and actual article.

I don't shop there because, in most cases, the selection sucks...Will occasionally go in for things that you cannot go wrong with, like motor oil and health supplements.

Exactly....

Corporations are beginning to see that the Trump MAGA loyalists are a declining minority group of US citizens.

I don't know about that. There is a surprising number of young people in the movement. I think it's the liberals who are declining... they're not making the message to the next generation.
