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.
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.
The cynic in me says “Trump is fucking with my money with the tariffs.”

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.
