Wal*Mart has TDS

The country's biggest retailer says they cant absorb increased prices resulting from tariffs.    Consumer price hikes are coming soon.

 

All those Deep State liberals DOGE fired must have taken jobs at WalMart

 

"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," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in the release.

  Where were all of the comments the past 4 years as prices nearly doubled at Wal mart and other stores during the brain dead Biden tenure?  Huh? 

Oh, i think you started plenty of threads like that where you tried to blame global inflation on Joe Biden.  

And we all pointed and laughed at you.

 

THe world isnt experience inflation now.   Just us.   Because of Trump's tariffs.    You are on record for saying they are good things....but you get triggered when the Wal*Mart ceo tells AMerica what their impact is.

 

Maybe you should have a nice long chat with your inbred Facebook  friends and figure out if you like the tariffs or not.

Millerscum; "Prices nearly.doubled"

 

On what planet???

 

God, he's a fucking idiot. And an asshole.

 Here is what was ACTUALLY said - "Nevertheless, some businesses, including Walmart, are still hedging. The retail giant warned it may have to raise prices due to tariffs, with CEO Doug McMillon stating that the company would do its best to protect consumers" -- https://mxmnews.com/article/dac2d6e1-00be-4e5e-b5e7-73c9c143218f

    Here is what was said, again -  Yes, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon has stated that Walmart may have to increase prices due to rising import costs. -- Walmart, a bellwether for consumer spending, joins other larger retailers in warning that they are likely to raise prices -- https://www.cbsnews.com/news/walmart-tariffs-price-hikes/#:~:text=%22We%20can%20control%20what%20we,into%20effect%20later%20this%20month.

Again, that is MX News biased summation of what the CEO said not what the CEO actually said. Do you not understand what quotation marks are?

Did CEO Doug McMillon say Walmart may have to increase prices? --- Yes, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon stated on an earnings call that the company expects to raise prices on some items due to increased costs associated with President Trump's tariffs. -- https://www.google.com/search?q=Did+CEO+Doug+McMillon+say+Wal+Mart+may+have+to+increase+prices&oq=Did&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l3j69i57j46i131i433i512j69i60l3.3394j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

This is what he said today:

 

"We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible,” Walmart's CEO Doug McMillon told industry analysts Thursday. “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.”

 

Note: he is being directly quoted.
