The 250th anniversary parade of the U.S. Army will be held this Saturday (June 14). Walmart heiress Christy Walton paid for a full-page advertisement in the New York Times, calling on the public to take to the streets on Saturday to participate in the "No Kings" parade. The U.S. media pointed out that this move has aroused the dissatisfaction of Trump supporters "MAGA" group, which may set off a wave of boycotts of Walmart.
According to the report, Walton bluntly called on the advertisement page to "mobilize the whole United States on June 14. They defied the court, expelled their citizens, made people disappear, trampled on civil rights, and cut public services. In the United States, we do not accept "kings." Although the slogan did not mention Trump's name, it seemed to be a call to the American people, calling on them to take to the streets to protest a series of actions after Trump took office.
After the advertisement was published, MAGAs criticized Walmart online, saying, "I can't stand dealing with Mexican illegal immigrants in Walmart", "Walmart shelves do not reflect my white culture", and "Walmart will soon know what patriots think of this advertisement!" Trump ally Kari Lake, leader of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), also retweeted the ad on X, writing, "Do you shop at Walmart?"
However, a Walmart spokesperson claimed that the ad had no connection with Walmart: "Christy Walton's ad has no connection with Walmart and is not endorsed by Walmart. She is not a member of Walmart's board of directors and does not play any role in Walmart's decision-making."
Walmart heiress Christy Walton is 76 years old. Her husband is John Walton, the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton, who died in 2005.
