An heir to the Walmart fortune made a bold move against President Donald Trump by sharing a political message about working with allies and urging voters to attend town halls.

Christy Walton, 76, placed a full-page ad in the New York Times and other more local newspapers on Sunday calling on Americans to engage in the political process, according to Fortune Magazine. 

The ad depicts an image of the Statue of Liberty with the head ‘USA, USA, USA’ printed near the torch.

It then goes into calls for action, including: ‘We honor our commitments and stand by our allies,’ ‘We defend against aggression and dictators,’ ‘We respect our neighbors and trading partners’ and ‘We uphold and defend the Constitution.’

The political ad ends by saying, ‘The honor, dignity and integrity of our country is not for sale. Show up, attend your town halls, be civil.’

It then notes that the ‘views represented her are solely those of Christy Walton’ and directs readers to the email address [email protected].

A person familiar with the billionaire’s thinking told Bloomberg it was meant to be a nonpartisan message encouraging people to make their voices heard and actively participate in government.

But many Americans quickly drew connections between Walton’s message and the actions of the Trump administration – which has imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico and has stirred international condemnation following a testy meeting with Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky.

The president has vowed to levy 25 percent tariffs against the United States’ neighbors to the north and south on April 2.

But he hinted on Monday that the tariffs may not be as harsh as he originally promised.

‘We may take less than what they’re charging because they’ve charged us so much, I don’t think they could take it,’ Trump said from the Oval office.

‘In other words, they’ve charged us so much that I’m embarrassed to charge them what they’ve charged us,’ he added, though he did not specify which countries he was considering a reversal for.

He also suggested that some of his other tariffs on cars, lumber, pharmaceuticals and semiconductors may wait until later this year.

Still, Trump promised that April 2 would be ‘Liberation Day,’ as they would be taking in enough revenue to lower taxes and create jobs.

He has also already increased his 2018 tariffs on steel and aluminum to 25% for all imports and has committed to additional tariffs on autos, pharmaceutical drugs, lumber, computer chips and copper.

Canada and Mexico have reacted angrily to the tariffs, with Trump’s jabs about making Canada the 51st state only further enraging the newly-elected Prime Minister.

Trump has also reneged on some of the United States’ commitments – pulling out of the Paris climate deal in one of his first acts after he took office.

He then ruffled feathers with international leaders when he and Vice President JD Vance held a fiery meeting with Zelensky last month, forcing the Ukrainian leader out of the White House before he could grace the podium with Trump for a planned press briefing.

Meanwhile, on the home front, the Trump administration has faced protests for the Department of Government Efficiency’s overhaul of the federal government.

And despite a source claiming that Walton’s message was supposed to be nonpolitical, she had previously co-hosted a fundraiser in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for former Vice President Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign.

The tickets for that event ranged from $1,250 to $100,000, according to Bloomberg.

She had earlier signed a letter calling on former President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race.

More recently, Walton donated $50,000 to the Lincoln Project – a political action committee whose website describes its ‘fight against Trumpism,’ – as well as $150,000 to a group supporting Senate Democrats.

She is estimated to have a net worth of $17.8 billion after marrying John Walton, the son of Walmart founder Sam.

John had died in a plane crash in 2005, leaving his widow with a portion of his shares.
