White House Rages At Media After Walmart Debunks Trump’s Boast
The White House criticized the media’s “pathological” reaction to President Trump’s claim that Walmart lowered prices at his administration’s request. While Walmart confirmed price cuts on beef and other items, reports later revealed the company had already planned these reductions before the Agriculture Department official’s call. The White House maintained these cuts were a result of the administration’s policies, despite Walmart’s initial statement not mentioning Trump. This incident highlights a pattern where President Trump takes credit for actions not solely attributable to his administration.
