Walmart heiress Christy Walton placed a full-page ad in The New York Times in June supporting “No Kings Day,” which many believe is a fierce anti-President Donald Trump and anti-American First celebration. The ad itself did not explicitly mention Trump, but many have interpreted the language as being anti-American First, according to Newsweek. “No Kings Day” is supposed to support things like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictatorships, and respecting trading partners, which sounds really great on the surface — but also leaves many people asking, “why do we need a day like this? Feel like something corporate America needs, but not the American people?” The ad (as seen below) includes language like “The honor, dignity and integrity of our country is not for sale. Show up, attend your town halls, be civil,” and “WE honor our commitments and stand by our allies;” “WE defend against aggression by dictators;” “WE respect our neighbors and trading partners.” (RELATED: Los Angeles Burns (Again); Is The Golden State Turning Into An Open Air Prison Camp?) As a majority of Walmart’s products are either made in China, or depend on products made in China — a nation defined by the extremist Chinese Communist Party dictatorship — it is unclear whether Walton has realized her absurd levels of hypocrisy in claiming to be anti-dictator.

Looks like the Walmart dynasty is big mad about China Tariffs. pic.twitter.com/22hWK73LjX — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) June 10, 2025 “The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision making at Walmart,” a spokesperson for Walmart told Newsweek. Still, Walton is the Walmart heiress, so shoppers are spending their cash elsewhere so as not to keep funding her lifestyle and seemingly anti-American rhetoric. What Is ‘No Kings Day’ Don’t feel bad for not knowing what “No Kings Day” is, or when it is — it is not a national holiday. In fact, it isn’t even a “day.” It appears to be a protest organized by a group called Invisible, which is pretty funny because that is what “No Kings Day” was — invisible — until Walton made a big deal out of it. Now that America does know what “No Kings Day” is, most people don’t want it. The protest is organized for June 14. Patriots will know that June 14 is also flag day, and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Trump has organized a substantial military parade to honor this sacred day.

If it were not for the U.S. army, Walton — and the rest of us — would either be drinking tea with milk or speaking German on June 14. TMM Analysis “No Kings Day” isn’t a thing — thankfully. It is a sad excuse for a small group of loud elites and the people who fund their lifestyles to sit around and do nothing about the problems they think they understand. We’ll be celebrating June 14 in true patriotic fashion: yes, we’ll be watching the parade. We don’t care if you continue to shop at Walmart. Quite frankly, if you can afford to keep shopping at Walmart, well done! In just the last few years, we’ve realized their prices are skyrocketing from being the go-to place for families to get their weekly shop, to an overpriced dumpster fire of crap Chinese toys and furniture, and foods filled with every synthetical chemical known to man. If you can, shop local. Go to your farmer’s market. Start a garden. Thrift and swap with friends. There are so many ways to save money while these huge retailers try to get rich off your backs. And if you’re the kind of person who needs *new* things to feel special, then you better start working really hard, or else the next decade will be a very difficult time for you.
