Walmart has stopped selling a few shirts online after Donald Trump supporters threatened to boycott the store.
The “Impeach 45” shirts and baby apparel didn’t mention Trump by name, but as he is the 45th president of the United States, it wasn’t too difficult to figure out the message on them.
The hashtag #BoycottWalmart became the top trending hashtag on Twitter for a while this week as plenty of shoppers threatened to stop buying things at Walmart.
This is what Walmart is selling this 4th of July

Walmart is selling IMPEACH 45 T-shirt’s and other apparel insulting our President.
I don’t recall Walmart selling IMPEACH OBAMA shirts or any anti Obama apparel, do you?
NEVER GO TO WALMART AGAIN. It is a left wing company that hates our kick ass President!#BoycottWalmart

Others didn’t quite understand the outrage.
In this economy? Fuck outta here!
Besides, you don't want to boycott them for selling guns and ammo or how they treat their employees like shit. You wanna do it over a shirt?
Trump Supporters are a whole different level of dumb. I have to laugh at you.

I find it hilarious that Trump Supporters are calling for a boycott of Walmart over the fact they sell “Impeach 45” t-shirts, yet they are perfectly fine with Walmart selling “Hillary for Prison” T-Shirts. It’s called Freedom of Speech! Don’t #BoycottWalmart.#ShopWalmart! pic.twitter.com/JyE0xMSTWR

A search of Walmart’s website still shows some of the products, but an error message pops up if you try to go to the product page or put the clothing the shopping cart.
