Show me a billionaire who has been sued nearly as often as Trump.

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

But it takes more than a few months to change suppliers

.

Hope that's the case.

Trunmp cut their corporste.taxes and these China-First "innovators" stick it to their country. A nice boycott would be better. If I were in America looking to start a business I would create a Made in america franchise and only sell inventory made domestically. Promote it as high quality products and mock the big box stores who use slave labour.

You'd be bankrupt with 18 months--best stay North~

yet they will absorb them. It still says that. Can you comprehend your post?

No.

‘Trump said on Saturday that Walmart (WMT.N) should "eat the tariffs" instead of blaming duties imposed on imported goods for the retailer's increase prices.’

Walmart needs to tell Trump to go pound sand.

If Trump is worried about price increases, he needs to scrap his meritless, idiotic tariff scheme.

Well you loons keep screaming tax the rich. What's the problem?

Hope that's the case.

Back in their beginning, didn't they work with pride in selling American made merchandise?

Walmart and other department stores, as well as drug stores, will sell less stuff from China. What they do sell will cost more.

trump is running the country like a Mafia Boss. But what do you expect from a convicted Felon. His problem is the Walton family is richer than he is. He screwed the economy and now wants then to bail him out.

So Walmart had record profits under...Biden?

And now they are facing losses under...Trump? Because of Trump's stupid tariffs?

And he's mad they are trying to protect their business?

Rolling Stone

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.

All Americans should recognize that the United States has been facing a debt crisis for years. Tariffs and taxes are among the tools employed to address this issue. If the US government does not take it seriously, the American economy may face severe consequences.

Based on current projections and analyses, the U.S. debt ceiling situation in the near and long term points to continued challenges and rising debt levels, requiring frequent Congressional action to raise or suspend the limit.

●Near-Term Outlook (2025)●

The debt ceiling was reinstated at about $36.1 trillion on January 2, 2025, after a suspension ended 1.

The Treasury will rely on extraordinary measures to temporarily extend borrowing capacity, but these are expected to be exhausted as early as June and no later than August 2025, necessitating a debt ceiling increase by then to avoid default 5.

The Treasury’s borrowing needs have sharply increased, with projected net borrowing of $514 billion for April to June 2025, up significantly from earlier forecasts, reflecting lower-than-expected cash reserves and ongoing deficits 68.

The federal budget deficit remains large, with a projected $1.9 trillion deficit in 2025, driving further debt accumulation 2.

●Medium- to Long-Term Outlook (2025–2035 and Beyond)●

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that federal debt will continue rising unsustainably, reaching about 118% of GDP by 2035, surpassing the post-World War II peak of 106% of GDP 24.

Deficits are expected to remain high, growing from $1.7 trillion in 2026 to $2.5 trillion by 2035, maintaining a budget shortfall around or above 6% of GDP annually 4.

Real GDP growth is projected to slow gradually, limiting the economy’s ability to outgrow debt burdens 4.

Interest rates are expected to stabilize somewhat but remain at levels that will increase the cost of servicing the national debt 4.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) projects that if current policies remain unchanged, debt held by the public could more than double relative to GDP over the next 30 years, reaching 253% of GDP by 2055 7.

Implications and Analysis

The debt ceiling will remain a recurrent fiscal and political issue, requiring frequent Congressional action roughly every 1–2 years or sooner depending on fiscal conditions and political negotiations.

Without significant changes to SPENDING , REVENUES, or FISCAL POLICY, the debt trajectory is unsustainable, increasing risks to economic stability and government finances.

Policymakers face pressure to pair debt limit increases with responsible fiscal reforms to control spending growth and promote economic growth to stabilize debt levels.

Summary

The U.S. debt ceiling will need to be raised or suspended repeatedly in the coming years, with the next critical deadline likely by mid-2025. Federal debt is projected to continue rising sharply relative to GDP, reaching historically high levels by 2035 and beyond, unless significant fiscal policy changes occur. This trajectory underscores ongoing fiscal challenges and the importance of timely Congressional action to manage borrowing and debt risks12457.

What are you talking about?

Is this the kind of inverted economics they teach on Fox Noise?

The rich are not going to pay Trump’s tarrifs.

You are.
