New York —
President Donald Trump is taking credit for Walmart’s summer sale, claiming that a request from his administration led to discounts on thousands of items for summer road trips and pool parties that happen every year.
The country’s largest grocer on Monday highlighted some of its seasonal sales, which are common for the summer. This included rollbacks on ground beef, ribs, soda and more at Walmart and Sam’s Club locations, according to a press release.
“This is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart, which is a truly patriotic Company who loves the U.S.A.,” he continued.
Trump tied this regular seasonal sale to his claims that his administration lowered costs for consumers, from gas prices to eggs. The comments echoed the false claims from Trump that Walmart’s cheaper Thanksgiving basket last year were due to grocery prices going “way down” in his current term.
