An anonymous WorldNetDaily writer gushed in a July 6 article:
President Trump Monday posted that his administration successfully got retail giant Walmart to lower its price for ground beef by “almost 15%” – adding to the recent easing of gas prices.
Trump said the “patriotic company who loves the U.S.A.” will also lower its prices on other products.
“This is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “My Administration is lowering prices that Joe Biden incompetently raised with the worst inflation crisis in history, a total disaster along with the Southern Border, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and many other failures.”
Trump concluded, “Walmart is stepping up in a big and bold way, and other Retailers should follow the lead of these absolute Patriots. Together, we will make America stronger and greater than ever before!”
But Walmart didn’t credit Trump for the price rollbacks:
The company, in a statement issued Monday after the president’s post, said its price rollbacks at Walmart and Sam’s Club “are designed to help customers and members make the most” of the summer season. There was no mention of any interaction with the administration and the company did not publicly comment on Trump’s claims.
WND didn’t mention that, of course, and it hasn’t updated the article to reflect this fact, even thuogh the White House freaked out over this getting pointed out.
