Retailers caught red-handed using Trump's tariffs as cover for price gouging

I recall reading weeks ago that scumbags such as Walmart were raising prices literally in anticipation of tariffs.

It’s just sleazy price gouging for a number of retailers.

Retailers caught red-handed using Trump's tariffs as cover for price gouging

Retailers exploit tariffs to justify price hikes on products not affected by trade policies, contradicting Trump's America First agenda to lower consumer costs

In recent weeks, headlines have been filled with warnings from major retailers about impending price hikes due to tariffs reinstated by President Donald Trump. Big Box stores like Walmart and Target have been quick to suggest that tariffs on imported goods, particularly from China, have left them with no choice but to raise prices for American families.

Let’s be clear, these decisions are more about raising profit margins and going against Trump’s agenda to bring costs down for Americans than responding to any actual economic pressure.

oh look. The fascists are now against private industry making profits.

 

[pknopp]

you can't bring costs down by adding additional costs.

How surprising ( not), the low IQ component of the dim party are cutting and pasting the fascist™ slogan absent any ability to understand what they cut and paste.

Just low IQ hacks looking for attention.

You can’t be taken as anything but a low IQ hack with quaint slogans.

However, you can lie about tariffs as the reason for price gouging.

Predictable that the low IQ types are reduced to cut and paste cartoons.

Fascist seek to control the economy and here you are demanding that retailers not seek profit.

You’re not a capitalist. Are you a communist now?

I am waiting for prices to reduce. We know what you did. The ugliness and the people who suffered with the inflation. Gasoline needs to come down.

If you're a capitalist, why are you outraged that corporations are seeking profit?

Good question which you won't answer.

Fact is that this exact thing happened under Biden and you ridiculed those people who brought it up, so get fucked asshole.

Apparently the word "price gouging" has been redefined when I wasn't looking.

Traditionally, "price gouging" is the temporary raising of prices during weather or civil emergencies to take advantage, not just figuring that the market could stand a price hike and testing the market.

Libs have been telling consumers for months that tariffs will just be added on to prices, so why not try?

As a good Marxist / democrat, you’re fine with price gouging. Where is Carmela Harris with her plan for government run stores and price fixing?

However, low IQ hack, think of the poor, oppressed illegals shopping at Walmart paying higher prices for falsehoods. Think of their children.

Do it for…. the children, Bunky.

Once they’re up they don’t come back down.

Deal with it.

When Harris talked about the exact same issue, you ridiculed her and called her a communist.

Why the sudden change of heart? That's right. Because Trump is in office and he's your daddy.

You really are low IQ. You just hate illegals.

Its BOTH.

 

[Hollie]

Its BOTH.

Try writing out a response in human words.

You admit to being a low IQ hack in favor of price gouging.

 

[Marener]

You really are low IQ. You just hate illegals.

Do you not remember this very issue coming up last year? Probably not. Trump has so addled your brains that you can't remember much beyond the last two weeks.

Good boy.
