White House Rages After Embarrassing Trump Story Exposed

The White House has gone into full defense mode after Donald Trump was found taking credit for price cuts that had nothing to do with him.

On Monday, the 80-year-old president posted on Truth Social that Walmart would be “lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration’s request,” including cutting the cost of beef by 15 percent as part of the country’s 250th birthday celebrations.

Trump took a victory lap, praising the announcement as a “huge deal” for millions of Americans suffering through a cost-of-living crisis. The president’s second term has been dogged by high food prices, despite Trump making lowering them a central pledge of his 2024 campaign.

However, a Walmart spokesperson told The Bulwark that the company’s price cuts had already been in place at its stores for a week before Trump tried to suggest he had convinced the country’s biggest retailer to implement them.

Or in reality, as part of the 4th of July weekend specials they have EVERY YEAR.

He did the same thing last Thanksgiving, and in addition to being cheaper he didn't mention their customary Thanksgiving dinner special also contained disproportionately fewer items than the year before.

He HAS to take credit for things that have nothing to do with him. He hasn't done a single thing for which he could be credited.

Maybe. Will they report it? Not a chance.

Same with Dimwit Donnie's glaring gaffes during the NATO meeting. MSM treated them like they never happened. Sanewashing. Lying through ommision.
