White House praises Walmart for raising wages because of the tax bill — despite the company laying off thousands of workers on the same day

"I'd also like to highlight the announcement this morning from Walmart, we want to thank them," said Mnuchin. "They will be increasing their minimum wages, issuing bonuses, and expanding family benefits for over a million employees. Walmart is the latest company to make such an announcement as a direct result of the Tax Cuts act."

While the White House praised the move by the company, there was little mention of a second announcement from the company.

Business Insider's Hayley Peterson reported that Walmart is closing 63 Sam's Club stores, likely leading to thousands of employee layoffs. There are about 150 employees at each location that is set to be closed.

When asked about the closures, Sanders declined to comment on the layoffs and said the White House was "excited" about the wage increases.

The White House and Treasury Department did not immediately respond to requests for further comment.

Fake news is only fake if it doesn't come out of the POTUS mouth.

Does he really believe that the tax bill had anything to do with the wages and bonuses at Walmart, or does he think people will be fooled by him taking credit for it?

Yes.

Sad.
