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

Trump’s policies almost single-handedly threw us into a recession, but okay.

The problem is you believe fantasies. Like tax cuts pay for themselves and illegal immigrants don’t provide valuable sources of labor and DOGE found hundreds of billions of waste, fraud, abuse and government statisticians falsify data because they’re trying to help Dems.

You invent fantasies and excuses to ignore Republican failures and Democratic successes.
 
We are seeing Trump’s authoritarianism where he is using his position of authority to intimidate businesses who say his tariffs are going to raise prices.

Yep, and his oh-so-capitalist flock is fine with it.

Tough to eat tariffs when your net profit margin is 4.3%.

The GQP has turned itself upside down for a con man.

The shit he said about the CEO of Mattel was way worse in my opinion.


This is a fundamental of fascism. The individualization and personalization of government and economy, to the point that Trump can threaten and control CEOs and companies to bend to his will.

Until he can't, of course. Walmart responded with a firm "meh."
“We have always worked to keep our prices as low as possible and we won’t stop,” the company said. “We’ll keep prices as low as we can for as long as we can given the reality of small retail margins.”

The power of the president to lay tariffs and grant exemptions is one of the most corrupt tools we allow the president.

Tax cuts are part of a bigger plan to be coupled with deregulation, more US energy production and less of a trade deficit as opposed to the Democrats plan of raising taxes(slowing the economy), regulating everything to death in the name of the boogie man of climate change, slowing US energy production and allowing other countries to benefit more than us from the power of the US consumer. The GDP will rise significantly if Trump's plans come to pass. Sure, inflation may rise a little due to increased demand, but the economy will flourish, more than making up for the cuts. Yep, it will happen. Mark it down. Save this thread. We can revisit. Start working on your excuses now. You will need them.

I don't care if you don't see it. Just a few weeks ago you were doom and gloom on the chances of recession because you were told that is what was going to happen. What do you know, the forecasts are downgraded. Sensible, NON-PARTISAN people knew this was going to happen. You guys are completely lost in the wilderness and are led around by the nose by political commentary.

Seriously, you are the guy that says no money should be kept on the side to invest in the market when the time is right. That is pure ignorance.

Modest tax cuts pay for themselves since revenue increases rather than declines afterward

The problem is that spending grew faster than extra revenue

No they don’t pay for themselves. It’s a fantasy you’ve been told.

It always has

For instance taxes paid to the federal treasury increased after both reagan tax cuts

Tax revenues go up every year due to inflation, population growth, economic growth.

The actual question is whether tax income goes up MORE with the tax cuts or MORE without the tax cuts.

Same playbook as last term with the same promises.

Back then, GDP growth rose to a staggering 2.9%, which conservatives then claimed was astoundingly high despite saying it was an embarrassment under Biden.

That's my point about your vague statements. You never say anything disprovable. You can always retcon anything to fit your narrative.

Its not a settled issue

Inflation could be a factor as could other factors

But its mere speculation to say that letting individuals keep more of their own money hurts the economy

Clearly it does not

Why would they need to “pay for themselves”?

That assumes all money belongs to the government. It also ignores the fact revenues have always gone up after a tax cut.
