NOTHING demonstrates the Dunning-Kruger Effect more vividly than a mindless Trumpster trying to lecture others on economics and markets.
Nothing.

You don’t even realize that you vote against your own self-professed beliefs. You are the ignorant one.

Sure, none of us Trump folks have a clue about finance or markets, right? I guess I should let my daughter’s friend’s dad, the CFO of a large company and Trump supporter know that. He doesn’t have a clue. My Dr. neighbor. He is an idiot too, as is my wife, the MD and her colleagues, who are also MDs and Trump supporters. None of them are intelligent enough to understand the intricacies of the economy like you. We should listen to you and professors on college campuses who are perpetual children and hopelessly devoted left-wing ideologues.

Partisanship is a hell of a drug and can make supposedly intelligent people say all kinds of idiotic shit.

No different than a mindless leftist with a superiority complex lecturing the middle class on their economics, no?

As I pointed out above, in reference to the Walmart price gouger's claim about car seats: There are U.S. manufacturers, but giant corporations like walmart are always willing to screw the American worker and entrepreneur if it saves them a few pennies.
It's high time Walmart got out of the business of profiteering from slave labor.
Yes, there are small business-owning Americans who find some niche in importing low-quality, slave-made goods and selling them on Amazon, paying Amazon fees of course. I wouldn't have supported slavery in the old south with the argument that there are small farmers just starting out, who only have a slave or two and would go out of business without them.

In 2013, the company committed to purchasing $250 billion in American-made goods by 2023 – just 6 percent of its net sales over the past decade (5% in 2014).

Wrong, all their paints, all their oils, those are all sourced from America.

The claim that all paints and oils are sourced from America is not entirely accurate. While many paint and oil products are manufactured in the US, the raw materials and pigments used can come from various parts of the world. Additionally, the historical origins of some oil paints and their pigments are not limited to North America

Well the raw materials to make some of the food products might come from overseas too but that doesn't mean it's not made in America. Some stuff isn't even available here.

I live in Wally-World USA in Arkansass and tried to work for them in 1986-87, and I know many folks that work fer Wal Mart since the 1980s, they have claimed to buy American, but when I worked for them, most products were from SE Asia or SE European Soviet block nations.

Assembled in America is not the same as made in America. You should try out the Walmart convenience stores..

Another example of how the President of the United States has no understanding of markets and economics:
His post on Tooth Central™: Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. 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!!!
Mr. President: Wal Mart is an American corporation. That means that Wal Mart's Board of Directors and CEO are "fiduciaries". Do you know what a "fiduciary" is, Mr. President? No, I didn't think so. It means that, by law, they have to operate in the best interests of their shareholders. "Eating tariffs" and slashing profits and stock value is not operating in the best interests of their shareholders, and invites "class action lawsuits" all day long. I know that no one knows more about lawsuits than you.
Also, and not that this matters, but an American President is not supposed to intimidate and threaten corporations, while also shilling for other corporations. That is picking specific corporate winners and losers, one of the foundational elements of "fascism". I know you don't understand that word, but perhaps you could have an adult outside your little circle explain it to you.
I hope that helps. I know it won't, but I'll hope anyway.
Trump Rages At Walmart For Raising Prices Over Tariffs

What does economics say about 35% corporate tax rates versus 21% corporate tax rates?
