White House rep erupts over Trump's bogus price-drop claim
A White House spokesperson late Thursday night lashed out at reporters who revealed President Donald Trump had claimed credit for Walmart price cuts the company later admitted the he played no part in, the Daily Beast reported.Trump boasted on Truth Social earlier this week that the company was lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration's request, including the high cost of beef which has exploded during his administration, with the president calling it a big deal, the report noted.But then Walmart issued a clarification. A spokesperson told the Bulwark the president had no part in the price reduction and explained the price drop was a week old and normal before the July 4th weekend, the report notes.That's when Senior Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai flew into a rage on X, targeting the Bulwark's Sam Stein.The President and Walmart’s announcement was that the sale is extending all summer long, he wrote. This is a big win for Americans. The media’s obsessive need to try to undermine any good news when it affects President Trump is pathological.According to the Beast's Ewan Palmer, Walmart executives had also been discussing lowering prices for months to help consumers, as they expected billions of dollars in tariff refunds after the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s sweeping import levies in February.
