The shirt that Fournier tweeted about has since been removed from the Walmart website.
Upon browsing the website, it appears that these particular Old Glory brand clothing items aren't the only anti-Trump merch being sold through the chain. There are also bumper stickers, magnets, coffee mugs, frisbees, and more sold on the website.
And Trump isn't the only target of negative merch sold through the store. There's "Impeach Obama" and even "Impeach Nixon" gear. If you type "impeach" into the website's search bar, eight pages of varied results come up.
It should also be noted that Walmart sells a fair number of Trump-related items, including pro-Trump merch like Make America Great Again hats and flags, those red USA hats, campaign merch for the 2020 election, and even a "I love Donald Trump" T-shirt featuring an American flag in the shape of a heart.
I love Donald Trump shirtCredit: screengrab/walmartThis isn't the first time Walmart has angered people over a shirt on its website. As a representative for Walmart Global eCommerce and Technology told Mashable back in 2016, the company has many partnerships with third-party retailers, like Old Glory, which means outside vendors can sell their products on the store's website.
He explained that when a Walmart-approved seller uploads an item to the site, it goes through a filter/screening process, and that on occasion, items in violation of Walmart's Prohibited Products Policies do slip through. The anti-Trump items in question do not appear to violate the company's policies.
And while there's a lot of outrage surrounding the "Impeach 45" gear, Walmart appears to be somewhat unbiased in regard to what political clothing items it allows outside sellers to list.
Sometimes you just need something to get mad at, I suppose.
