No, the premise of the article was that companies were using tariffs as an excuse to gouge customers when they didnt need to
Maybe that's what just happened to me?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 costswww.foxnews.com
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.
I'm telling you it just happened. Lucky for me we put on all our quotes recently: This proposal does NOT include any potential future-imposed tariffs; should there be any new imposed tariffs the proposal will have to be adjusted to reflect those additional costs.
I’m telling you your tales and fables are not believable.
You sound just like Kamala last year. I bet you argued with her when she said it. I don't recall any Republicans on USMB saying companies weren't price gouging. Funny how fast you flip flop now that Trump's in charge.I recall reading weeks ago that scumbags such as Walmart were raising prices literally in anticipation of tariffs.

I love it that Trump's tariffs that I'm experiencing in real time are unbelievable to you. I agree. This is FUCKED UP Hollie!
Maybe if you stopped cutting and pasting nonsense from the web you could get a job other than your current occupation of buffoon.
Way back in 2012 you loved Walmart. Here's what you said:

What about....?
I did a search for any time you ever said Walmart and found 2 pages of posts going all the way back to 2012. You are the one who's a groupie for Walmart.
I will require you cut and paste every post I ever made about Walmart. I don't believe you are capable of understanding what I wrote.
Nope. I already went through them and proved my point. Last year you said Walmart was NOT price gouging us. You argued with Kamala. This year because they are doing it to Trump, you suddenly see the light.
OhPleaseJustQuit doesn't believe you would post that Walmart is price gouging us. Not after last year when you argued they weren't price gouging us. No way you would flip flop that quickly would you?I recall reading weeks ago that scumbags such as Walmart were raising prices literally in anticipation of tariffs.

Pointing out that retailers are price gouging while blaming it on Trump's tariffs is being against private industry making profits? Nice try, Marener. Well not really...rather pathetic actually!
Yep. See, the fascists think that private industry is subservient to the nation, and they see Trump as the embodiment of the nation.
That's not at the expense of Trump...that money is coming out the pockets of American consumers while retailers like Walmart BLAME Trump's tariffs! Things like that need to be exposed so that people can see for themselves who the owners of Walmart care about!
