Walmart Heiress Funds Anti-Trump Ad

  • Billionaire heiress Christy Walton financed a prominent, full-page ad in the New York Times to support nationwide protests against Donald Trump on June 14, 2025, coinciding with his 79th birthday and a large military parade in Washington, D.C.
  • The advertisement urged Americans to mobilize peacefully to defend democratic values and reject authoritarianism amid criticism of policies undermining civil rights.
  • Walton’s spokesperson emphasized the ad intends to promote civic engagement, clarified Walton is not involved in Walmart’s management, and Walmart officials stated the ad is not connected to or endorsed by the company.
  • Supporters of Trump called for a Walmart boycott on social media, using #BoycottWalmart, and some labeled Walton a 'traitor,' while Walmart condemned violence and property damage unrelated to the ad.
  • The protests and backlash highlight political polarization around Walmart, but the overall effect of boycotts remains uncertain as nationwide movements against authoritarianism continue.
