Entrepreneur and political commentator Patrick Bet-David (PBD) has made some striking allegations, asserting that the Democratic Party, together with its non-governmental organization (NGO) allies, is orchestrating over 1,500 synchronized protests across all 50 states. He argues that this initiative is not a manifestation of grassroots activism but rather a calculated effort to undermine President Trump and spark a renewed wave of civil unrest as the midterm elections approach.
According to PBD, this strategy is nothing short of “astroturfed chaos,” backed by a clandestine network of more than 100 progressive organizations and affluent individuals, including connections to billionaire Christy Walton, the Walmart heiress. Her involvement was highlighted in a New York Times investigation that unveiled the extensive protest machinery.
As noted by Newsweek:
Christy Walton is encountering backlash, with calls for a boycott of Walmart emerging from Trump supporters after her full-page advertisement in The New York Times advocated for civic engagement at town halls. Although the “No Kings Day” ad refrained from directly naming President Donald Trump, its focus on principles such as commitment to allies and resistance against autocrats was widely interpreted as a critique of Trump’s “America First” foreign policy.
A Walmart spokesperson clarified to Newsweek that “the advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision making at Walmart.”
PBD further contends that the Democrats are plotting these 1,500 protests—financed by wealthy benefactors and obscure NGOs—as a tactic to portray President Trump as a despot, paving the way for the justification of sweeping emergency powers.
Patrick Bet-David:
“They’re losing their minds. It’s great to be on with you here. They’re losing their minds. But here’s the thing—when you look at Gavin Newsom, it’s very interesting how opportunistic he is and what his format is: blame, deflect; blame, deflect; get emotional; play politics; spin a little bit. The guy is such a gifted spinner.Here’s a challenge that Californians have to be thinking about: California—this is the closest it’s ever been to being red. This is the closest California has ever been to being red in a long time. Now, a lot of the people that voted for Trump—the independents, the libertarians, and the conservatives in California that voted for Trump—they want to see changes in California.
Are you going to fall for this tactic? He’s separating families and their kids and all this… this is all this other stuff. He’s doing all this other stuff. It’s going to be interesting watching how California handles this, because if they succeed in getting everybody else emotional, we know what game they’re playing.
June 14th is President Trump’s 79th birthday—250-year army. You—you got flagged. You got all this stuff that they’re doing with America.
They don’t want to see any of these victories taking place. An Axios article came out talking about 1,500 protests—they’re already planning them in 50 states, funded by 100 progressive organizations and a lot of different NGOs. One of the Walton billionaires, Christy Walton—her name was mentioned in the New York Times. This is a 19–20 billion dollar type of person.
A lot of this money—you hear Soros, all these other things that they’re doing. They’re planning this. You know what they’re looking for? I hate to say this—they’re looking for their next George Floyd. That is all they need. They need one person. They need one massive crisis.
They have no policies. They have no good ideas. I’ve yet to see— I went on ChatGPT. I said, “Can you tell me what solutions Mayor Bass and Gavin Newsom have given to all these protesting?” There are no solutions. It’s meetings. It’s suing Trump. Zero solutions.”
