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

[1srelluc]

Of course it's good for them, dumb-ass.

No, you fucking moron.
It means, they are fucking YOU.
BUT, you're too STUPID to realize it.
You're dumb-ass thinks...........
"They will give some to me"..........
Sure .........You fucking moron.

If you have not done well over the past month then it's your fault as everything was on sale.

 

[dblack]

That means democrats will vote for MAGA.
We cant lose

That's the sad fact, yes. "Free shit" is good politics.

Sure............Did you get the invite?

The 220 winners of a cryptocurrency contest were told on Monday to look out for an email featuring “the most exclusive invitation in the world”. As a reward for spending immense amounts of money, in some cases millions of dollars, they had won the prize of attending a private gala with Donald Trump at his own Washington DC golf club later this month.

Well maybe Walmart won’t stock their shelves full of Chinese made crap.

I have bought Chinese consumer goods at every opportunity. It is not crap. It is better made, and at lower prices than American consumer goods.

It is just a bit odd that Donald Trump has gone from assuring us first that we weren't going to feel any negative effects on the economy as a result of his tariffs, to telling us yes, we'll probably hurt a bit but we should just suck it up for the good of the collective and just plan on buying the kids fewer toys this Christmas.
That's just not the type of thing a free market capitalist says.
Then he declared he wanted to set price caps on prescription drugs.
Hmmm.......
OK Comrade, I like the sound of that one.
Then he pressured Bezos not to inform people how much cost the tariff tax would be adding to their Amazon purchases, and Amazon complied.
That sounds an awful lot like big government exerting it's influence on private business and determining how it operates.
And also why would Trump want Amazon to hide the cost of his Tariffs from us?
Does he think we just won't notice prices continuing to climb?
Obviously that's exactly what he is worried about ; that we will notice, and that he won't be able to blame it on Biden from now on.
Obviously when it comes to the real effects of Trump's tariffs, the truth is not Trump's friend.....so now he's going full on Communist on the nation's largest retailer
He is now trying to tell Wal-Mart how much profit it should be allowed to make, saying they're rich enough already and the fat cats should tighten their belts and sacrifice for the common good of the proletariat and not pass their higher costs on to consumers.
WOW!
Maybe he's turning over a new leaf? Perhaps he's had some sort of transformative conversion. Lenin would be proud.
I'm sure Vlad Putin is too.....and let's not forget Bernie Sanders.


As Trump has jacked up import taxes, he has tried to assure a skeptical public that foreign producers would pay for those taxes and that retailers and automakers would absorb the additional expenses. Most economic analyses are deeply skeptical of those claims and have warned that the trade penalties would worsen inflation. Walmart warned on Thursday that everything from bananas to children’s car seats could increase in price.

Trump, in his Truth Social post, lashed out at the retailer, which employs 1.6 million people in the United States. He said the company, based in Bentonville, Arkansas, should sacrifice its profits for the sake of his economic agenda that he says will eventually lead to more domestic jobs in manufacturing.

Trump warns Walmart: Don't raise prices due to my tariffs but do eat the costs from those taxes

President Donald Trump has ripped into Walmart, saying on social media that the retail giant should eat the additional costs created by his tariffs.

Good post. Trump is about as commie/socialist as they come. Not sure how he bent the capitalist party to his will but the MFer did it. The GOP is a bunch of commie cowards.

That higher corporate tax rates make it more difficult for an American company to compete in an increasingly competitive global business environment. Which is why I favor the lower rate.

Perhaps the President of the United States has some understanding of markets and economics, eh?

MAGA sounds more like Bernie and AOC everyday

So, it's getting a lot of support from left-wingers?

MAGA sounds more like Bernie and AOC everyday

There was not a Republican on planet Earth who believed in tariffs 10 years ago. Not a single one.

Dirt stupid MAGA cult members, all of them.

Except no corporations actually paid a 35% tax rate when it was in effect.

If they did, then their accountants would be fired.

Tax evasion and tax fraud is one of the biggest problems facing this country.

Except no corporations actually paid a 35% tax rate when it was in effect.

They didn't pay 35% on taxable earnings? Why not?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Tax evasion hurts the country just as much as tax fraud.

Nearly 10% of Fortune 500 companies paid no taxes in 2023. Which is why all the MAGA whining about corporate taxes is so fucking stupid and meaningless. --

Nearly 10% Of S&P 500 Companies Paid No Tax — Including Tesla

With all the bellyaching about U.S. corporate taxes, you'd think S&P 500 companies paid up.

How much should they pay when their taxable earnings are $0?

Quit throwing your feces around for once, MAGA monkey, and actually read real news.

You might actually learn something for a change.

 

[Lesh]

I fear WalMart is using tariffs as a convenient scapegoat to boost margins. Two thirds of the goods they sell are made in the US. They could easily absorb the increase of costs like they did in 2019 if they weren't so greedy now.

So you want Walmart to eat the tariffs huh?

Right, sorry, you're a liberal, math is beyond your understanding.

Where is the fraud, liar.

Lie #2 of yours this morning exposed.

China has been shitting on Uncle Sam for decades with unfair trade practices. Every president knew about it but nobody had the balls to do anything until Trump. TDS lefties never have a good day and all they can do is whine about the unfairness of paying more for Barbie Dolls this year.

Bush 43 implemented tariffs on China’s steel up to 30% in 2022.

Yet another Dr. Phosphorous lie exposed.

China said they ignored that deal when your Vegetable Messiah was put in office, Simp.

Could be because all the millions the Chicoms funneled to the Biden Crime Family Syndicate.
