The “Resistance” movement against President Donald Trump is less than 1½ years old. And so are some of its newest members.

At least, that’s what Walmart is promoting with its new baby clothes.

The retail giant is selling “Impeach 45” and “Impeach Trump” baby and adult apparel for opponents of the controversial 45th president of the United States. But Walmart’s “resistance” appeal has met – for lack of a better term – resistance of its own.

On July 2, Ryan Fournier, a Trump advocate, set the Twitterverse abuzz with his discovery of Walmart’s clothing. He asked @walmart "why are you selling Impeach 45 baby clothes on your website?????"

Walmart is an equal opportunity offender:

quote:

Walmart hasn’t shied away from controversial clothing in the past. In December 2016, Walmart stopped selling merchandise with the caption “Bulletproof – Black Lives Matter” after the National Fraternal Order of Police, a police advocacy group, attacked Walmart for “profiting from racial division.” In November 2017, the company sold a shirt that read ““Rope. Tree. Journalist. SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED” before being pulled.

Some of y'all are just as bad as liberal snowflakes.

ETA - Sold by the same company as the Impeach 45 shirts.

The only people who would possibly care about this are the wackos on the poli board.

So why are your trying to do the same thing for the other side? You’re only validating the ridiculousness and becoming what you’re complaining about

I agree. That said, I don't know if this is a great business decision for Wal-Mart. I would imagine their customer base is comprised moreso of Trump supporters than Trump haters. Why piss off a majority of your customer base, even if that anger may be irrational?

I doubt this move is going to get more liberals (who think Wal-Mart is the bastion of evil) to shop there. It's much more likely to force long time customers to leave (at least temporarily). Know you customers!!

I'll never understand it.

Bitch and moan when you're not the one in power, get in power, then justify everything with "well _______ did it too."
