TARIFFS: Walmart's CFO signals that price hikes may be coming because of Donald Trump's tariffs.



Yep, this is what the Trump supporters voted for. Now we all have to suffer the consequences of higher prices. What do you think?

They can do as they please, but to pre-emptively blame Trump is interesting. They make decisions, they are notorious for squeezing vendors to cut their prices, so Wal Mart should do the same against Chinese vendors post-tariff increase. They have been making millions there, time to cut that down.

Perhaps Trump can suggest that the tax cuts that he fought for will be applied to all corporations except those for which the primary merchandise is imported from China, based on some percentage. Wal Mart enjoys a MASSIVE tax cut from the amount they paid in 2016 before Trump was elected.

So...

...And yet, while he apparently convinced more Americans to vote for him and his hardline promises to fix the economy and immigration — by enforcing tariffs and launching a mass deportation campaign — it seems voters are only now looking into the 78-year-old’s politics.
Google searches for the term “tariff” have spiked after the election, as have queries about “Trump’s tariff plan” — spiking more than 1650 per cent since the election. Searches for “who pays tariffs” have risen 350 per cent since the election.
The big question Americans are Googling after electing Trump

it's FAFO time...

What's the difference? The other administration promised to hike taxes for the roof so to the common man it's all the same.
 
So, Trump's first term, did the trade deficit with China improve or did it get worse? What about the total trade deficit?
China didn't keep their end of the bargain in the deal they signed, Trump called this out. Then covid began.

Trump will be sure to make up for the lost interest when China lied about what they were going to purchase. President Xi is already using their media to play nice, just as the Dems do.

That is always the attitude of the bullies once they are faced with someone who won't back down.
 
How is that nonsense?
China will yield to Trump and there won't be a need for the tariffs. Even if it happened, Walmart can purchase everything from American Companies and then no tariffs will be necessary which would offset the cost differential. And, our products won't fall apart and be much safer. Better for the climate to for you liberals.
 
It won't affect me that much I don't buy Chinese made crap from Walmart anyway.
If you might be in the market for an electric blanket, run and get one now. An umbrella with a telescopic staff, I might actually horde them up and create an online store once the tariffs go into effect. Same holds true for video game consoles, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo. Cooking appliances made from steel, toasters. And here is a big one, baby strollers. No shit, nothing like increasing the cost for young parents. All of the above, over ninety percent of our imports come from China. NINETY PERCENT.

That is just delusional. It really is. I will admit, China is not in a good place right now, they got some real economic problems. Labor costs are cheaper in Thailand and Vietnam, and to be blunt, that was part of the damper on Trumps first tariffs. Televisions are so damn cheap because now, well they are made in Mexico. Again, cheaper labor. And flippin Africa is just beginning to be touched. The problem here is that Trump wants to implement tariffs across the board.

Honestly, we have known that tariffs were, well stupid, for more than two thousand years. Xenophon wrote about it. If a country can produce a good cheaper, and transport it here cheaper, than we can. Well boy howdy, send it on. If that country allows their workers to be paid, what, three dollars a day, warehouses them like convicts and provides no labor protections. Doesn't give two shits about pollution, spewing toxic fumes in the air and placing cancer causes waste in open landfills, then that is their problem, not ours.

I mean you guys have always talked about winners and losers. The government picking winners and losers. What the fawk do you think tariffs do? The winners, bloated manufacturers that overpay their workers. The losers, hard working farmers that provide food, to not only us, but the rest of the world. There will be retaliatory tariffs from those other nations. In Trump's first term, he paid out billions to soybean farmers who saw the retaliatory tariffs decimate their exports. Will he do it again, hell no, why would he? And just like we did in Trump's first term, place tariffs on Chinese goods, fine, we get them from Thailand, Mexico, Vietnam. Well China will get their soybeans from Brazil and Argentina. You guys really don't think this through.

What I do know is during the Trump years with tariffs, inflation was very low along with interest rates. Biden lifted tariffs and what happened? 10% inflation and interest rates. Trump isn't stupid about this. You can be sure other countries will do business with us if they want our protection. He also will strengthen farmers in America as well. He keeps his campaign promises. I get what you are trying to say. You have to realize Trump has already had success with tariffs and inflation stayed low. How did he do that? Not listening to Democrats.
 
Democrats are traitors working with the WEF on a plot to intentionally collapse America and usher in the great reset.

This is why democrats have no issue with countries putting tariffs on America, but don't want America putting tariffs on America's competition.

Democrats work to crush American companies while they invest in their foreign competition.

So, what you're saying is american workers will be happy with slave wages and not demand to be paid more that would definitely raise prices.

Biden did not lift the tariffs on China.
