Trump tells Walmart to 'eat the tariffs' after retailer warned it will raise prices

Headline should read, trmp threatens Walmart....“I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!”


President Donald Trump blasted Walmart on Saturday after the country’s largest retailer warned this week that it will have to raise prices because of tariffs.

“Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, “EAT THE TARIFFS,” and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. “I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!”

Walmart CFO John David Rainey said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday that, “We have not seen price increases at this magnitude, in the speed in which they’re coming at us before, and so it makes for a challenging environment.”

As a retail giant and the largest grocer in the country, Walmart is often seen as a bellwether for the health of retailers and U.S. consumers.

I'm old enough to remember when DU hated all "KKKorporations" and WalMart was not only EVIL, but DUmmies did not DARE admit to shopping there. Now, however...

Disney, Pfizer, Apple, Walmart...wow. DUmmies are downright agog over their monster corporations.

Where are the Democrats to lecture us about “price-gouging” now?

But I thought raising corporate taxes and hiking minimum wage had no impact on prices,companies just ate those.

Remember what your black messiah said?

"You didn't build that".

Excellent find. Dummies have been demonizing Walmart from the dawn of time but when Trump goes after Walmart the DUmmies do an instant 180 and are defending Walmart.
