Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Great news! I have just been informed that one of the biggest, best, and smartest Retailers in America, Walmart, will be lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration’s request to celebrate our great Country’s 250th birthday. Walmart will, in particular, be dropping the price for a pound of ground beef by almost 15%, among many other products. 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. My Administration is lowering prices that Joe Biden incompetently raised with the worst inflation crisis in history, a total disaster along with the Southern Border, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and many other failures. Just as I promised, Oil Prices are plummeting FAST, and Gas Prices at the pump are dropping too, just like egg and Prescription Drug prices which I am bringing down by historic levels. Walmart is stepping up in a big and bold way, and other Retailers should follow the lead of these absolute Patriots. Together, we will make America stronger and greater than ever before!

Trump said Walmart would drop the price for a pound of ground beef by almost 15%, along with many other products. He described the retailer as a patriotic company and urged other retailers to follow its lead. He framed the move as a broad effort by his administration to bring down consumer prices for millions of shoppers.
Trump tied the announcement to his wider economic message. He said his administration was reversing inflation that he blamed on former President Joe Biden, and claimed oil, gas, egg and prescription drug prices were all falling. He offered no data to support the individual price claims.
Walmart has not independently confirmed the described price cuts in the material available for this report.
