Trump demands Wal*Mart eat the tariffs

Can Boilerman explain to Trump how thin margins are at grocery retailers

Remember when Kamala Harris promised to crack down on price gouging that might occur?  And then Boilerman warned how awful that would be because profit margins at places like Kroger were so small that government intervention would kill them?  Remember that?  it was just a few months ago.

Trump now demands the country's biggest grocer - Wal*Mart - eat the 10-30% tariffs he unilaterally put upon them without passing along to the customers.     I could explain how that math doesnt work.,..but I'm sure Boilerman can articulate better than I can.

Boilerboob was strident and adamant about that. So since he's anointed himself Chief Trump Apologist, I too will be interested in hearing how he thinks WalMart can absorb Trumpiffs and stay in business. This should be good. He'll definitely use his "xyz thinks..." nonsense.

The opinion of idiot Boilerboob aside, what makes Trump think he can tell WalMart how to run their business? What a fucking asshole!

I wonder if all the MAGA love will cool down when they go shopping and everything they buy is significantly more expensive. WalMart should post a fifteen-foot high banner at every store: SORRY, BUT YOU VOTED FOR THIS!--in red states, at least.

  This is another lie. This is what President Trump actually said - he demanded nothing -- "The president ripped Walmart execs on Saturday for signaling tariff-driven price hikes that are poised to begin later this month. "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!!!," Trump said in a post on Truth Social." --https://finance.yahoo.com/news/walmart-should-eat-the-tariffs-trump-says-after-retailer-warns-of-looming-price-hikes-155126753.html
