President Donald Trump posted 56 times on Truth Social in the space of just one hour, spreading claims about Walmart and Governor Gavin Newsom that were demonstrably false. Analysts say the allegation exaggerates the economic effect of the $22 (£18) minimum wage, which is higher than the federal minimum but still manageable for major retail chains. California's $22 (£18) minimum wage is being phased in gradually across sectors, not implemented suddenly in a way that would force mass shutdowns. Governor Newsom is not Pablo Escobar'. Newsom has since viewed many of Trump's claims as misinformation and politically motivated attacks.
