Trump busted for claiming credit for something he didn't do [View all]

President Donald Trump has a history of claiming credit for Walmart decisions that he had nothing to do with, and on Tuesday he did it again — with a commentator for a conservative website calling him out for it.

“Yesterday, President Trump posted that ‘one of the biggest, best, and smartest retailers in America, Walmart, will be lowering prices by a lot at my administration's request to celebrate our great country's 250th birthday,’” The Bulwark’s Catherine Rampell said on Wednesday. “‘Walmart will, in particular, be dropping the price for a pound of ground beef by almost 15%, among many other products. This is a huge deal for many millions of Americans who smartly shop at Walmart, which is a truly patriotic company who loves the USA.’”

As Rampell pointed out, Trump is obviously stating that he did something which the company routinely does all of the time.

“If you've ever shopped at Walmart, you know that they have these rolling sales and promotions all the time — that's sort of the business model for retailers like this,” Rampell said. “In fact, it's not just Walmart — there are lots of companies still running their July 4th sales and may soon have other seasonal discounts pegged to back-to-school season or similar. But sure, you know, credit our fearless leader.”
