I was initially suspicious after just reading the headline. But after reading the article, I am… slightly less suspicious.
She isn’t an heiress in the sense that most people would think of the term. That is, she wasn’t born into the family and has never been involved with the “family business.” Rather, she married a Walton heir who died, and she inherited her wealth from him.
All I’m saying is that, wealth and surname not withstanding, she could be a decent person with decent motives.
Maybe she’s not a class traitor but people gotta start somewhere
… I mean, that’s a lot of money and a lot of homeless people around her. And she is getting richer each year from the company that pays poverty wages.
The cynic in me says “Trump is fucking with my money with the tariffs.”
Totally not disagreeing, but for some more context she married into the Walton family, inherited a 1.9% stake in the company when her husband died in 2005, and has never had a role in the organization.
That makes so much more sense.
The enemy of my enemy is my frenemy…?
Maxim 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more. No less.
That doesn’t mean you can’t work with them, or that their actions can’t be useful, but be careful, and be aware they are not necessarily an ally.
Maxim 30 A little trust Goes a long way. The less you use, the further you’ll go.
The cynic in me says, who gives a fuck what a wealthy out of touch woman says in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad when anyone is on our side, it’s always good to have powerful allies, and it is mildly interesting from an academic standpoint when wealthy people are anti-Trump. But her expression of support or dissent, even amplified in a newspaper ad, is no more impactful or valuable at the end of the day than yours or mine. Unless she is literally financing change (which doesnt include opinion piece ads) or has the ear of those in authority who can actually make change happen, her money, status and name mean nothing.
The headline may as well be your neighbor’s cousin Darren yelled out of his window “go protest Trump”. Like thanks for the moral support Darren, but why are we even talking about you?
According to the article she supported Harris and donated $700,000 to her campaign and other PACs trying to get her elected. She’s doing more positive than most billionaires, that’s for sure.
Well her voice probably matters to the workers knowing someone has their back at least a miniscule amount
How in the world did I manage to agree with a Walton about something?
I think it’s literally just a coincidence. I’ve never heard anything else at all about or from her.
I’m just learning this woman exists, so I assume she’s mad about her money.
yeah, the waltons are pissed about the handling of the tariffs
It’s a dark timeline.
Random billionaire + Reassuring white dude 2028
They’re not them
She better be there.
Hahaha trust me bro, she’s one of us.
Ain’t nobody saying that but that doesn’t make this one specific action any less good
Oh nyoo, first the tariffs, and now the gov hit her right on her slave-wage labour (subsidised by food stamps) costs??
Fuck you rich bitch, use your insane net worth to buy some politicians.

I’m curious about what happens when Trump’s policies really start biting into the rich’s bottom line. I would guess when mainstream media starts going negative on Trump, he’s gone too far.
the lesser evil
That’s nice. Pay your employees better.
If only she took out an add Trump supports might actually see, then this might look less like virtue signaling.
Leopard eating faces. They contributed to Trump’s campaign and learned they were not tariff exempt. Womp womp.
Broken clocks and soforth.
