Walmart Says It's Raising Prices Because of Trump's Tariffs

[g5000]

I will gladly pay a small percentage higher in the short term to get better trade deals and return some amount of manufacturing back here in the long run.

No, what is going to happen is existing small businesses here are going to go bankrupt.

Trump's idiotic far left protectionist tariffs cost Americans $34 billion a year, eliminated 300,000 jobs, and cost taxpayers $22 billion in rescue subsidies for farmers.

Talk about a self-inflicted gunshot to the face!

Our farmers already are suffering just like they did during Trump's first far left tariff war. Another taxpayer bailout for this new idiotic trade war is already in the works for farmers again.

Another result of Trump's far left protectionism was we ended up with a record high trade deficit with China! Our trade deficit with Mexico also increased.

Did your propagandists inform you of this?

Didn't think so.

Trump 1.0:

‘Here’s your check’: Trump’s massive payouts to farmers will be hard to pull back​

The trade bailout has now spanned three years and surpassed $23 billion, even though it was never appropriated by Congress. Instead, the money was funneled through USDA’s Commodity Credit Corporation, a Depression-era agency that can borrow from the U.S. Treasury to stabilize the farm economy.


Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.


Also, you are really naive if you think manufacturing will return. You want to know why?

Because we live in a plutocracy.

Tim Cook bribed Trump with a million dollars, literally.

And guess which company Trump has exempted from his tariffs.

Apple.

Wake up, son.

Apple CEO Tim Cook donates $1 million to Trump inauguration​

​

Apple regains $3 trillion market cap after Trump exempts tariffs on iPhones​

Three trillion dollars. That's quite a return on Cook's one million dollar investment!

All of you act like the only thing that matters is prices don't rise, even though the largest reason for low prices is the use of SLAVE LABOR. You know - something you all are supposed to give a damn about.

It's all relative.

A starving Bangladeshi's life is vastly improved by what we would consider a low wage job making T-shirts.

As I have explained countless times, when communism collapsed, China and India were forced to recognize that a market economy was better than their centrally planned economies.

This resulted in two billion workers entering the world's labor market.

So of course wages were going to be flatlined globally for a while.

But once that egg is through the snake, they will become consumer economies and wages will once again rise.

Basic economics.

Those two billion people have greater economic freedom than they had before!

This is a huge success story for capitalism, not a failure.

Your are just wrong. Check back in 1 year and lets see where we are.

There is no reasonable way to spin that what Trump has temporarily negotiated with China is better for the US that it was before this all started. No way at all.

Walmart, the largest retailer in the nation, has announced it is raising prices because of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

The retail giant said on Thursday that it may absorb some of the import taxes, but it is still raising prices to offset increased costs resulting from Trump's ill-advised trade war.

MSN

How much are they raising prices??

1%...... 10%.......?? 300%....???? Thirty Seven Milliton-Trillion-Quintillion-Quadrillion Percent?

The biggest reason I hate the DISGUSTING FILTH is that dimocrap scum run it and they, and you, are just irredeemably fucking stupid.

Bullshit article for bullshit people

Hopefully this will drive Wallyworld out of business...It's a crap filled store that gouges the consumer every chance it gets....

I hope they go bankrupt.

Opinion piece. Not news.

You can read it as news in any number of sources, including the Wall Street Journal..

 

[Zafira Cherry]

Tariffs are not paid by the consumer

Own it Gomer's OWN IT!

 

[TimFitz]

That’s great news…Do you think tariffs will run some of Mexico’s people back to their disgusting shithole?

No, it’s far more likely to spawn Americans near borders to make shopping runs to Mexico and Canada.

They’ve been doing it with Perscription drugs for years.

 

[TimFitz]

Where was all of this piss and vinegar when all of that legislation that printed trillions and trillions of dollars and got us all near nothing in return except inflation? All of those Prog cities and states running huge deficits as they closed down and even killed some of their senior citizens as an offering to moloch. We got to know what the loss of unalienable rights are though. Never forget the Prog citizens and how they acted and reacted during Covid. Never help any of them.

look in the mirror and ask yourself that. Trump, Bush and Reagan borrowed and spent.

Trump will continue to borrow and spend.

Over the long run Walmart will sell less stuff made in china

But it takes more than a few months to change suppliers

TLDR - but reading what you are saying is hilarious, because all of you only seem upset about it if Trump is president.
We had 40 year inflation with Biden, and when any of us talked about it - you all denied it, or just didn't care.
But now you do.

Total bullshit.

TLDR. Yeah. You MAGA morons have the intellectual bandwidth of a bumper sticker.

Also, you deliberately turn a blind eye to anything which contradicts your erroneous, deluded bleefs.

All you have is your usual tu quoque, "B-b-b-b-b-b-but Biden!"

We were only asking about the inflation. Not a word for 4 years. We were just asking. You have an answer if you could ship this up.

Point is -- How much is Walmart raising prices?

A lot of companies flooded China with orders BEFORE Trump hit them with Tariffs and then didn't bother to order anything during the actual Trade War when he had 130% Tariffs on them.

A likely scenario is this..... Hoo Flung Poo sells Rubber Duckies to Wally World for $100. Wally World has them Direct Shipped (Direct buying) so there's not really a middle man. Wally World wants a 50% Gross Profit Margin on them, so they sell them for $200.

All that has changed since OMB put a 30% tariff on everything. So HFP sells them to WW for $95 and WW decides they can live with a 45% GPM and lists them for $211.

Which works out to just over a 5% Price Increase. Whoopi-Freaking-Doopie. Nobody is really unhappy. Except for the DISGUSTING FILTH. Who are more stupid than unhappy

Journalism in this Country is dead, Its practitioners are just simply too stupid.

"We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren't able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins," McMillon said.

which tariffs? They just paused 90 days down to 10% of the product tariffs? you confused again?
