Trump tells Walmart to ‘eat the tariffs’

[Into the Night]

Oh fuck you. You are such a wicked, vapid, transparent pile of dog shit. You have never cared about "corporate greed". Why should a private corporation donate its profits to subsidize the dumb fuck tariffs-no-tariffs-tariffs-again-no-tariffs-again spasms of a functionally retarded, illiterate moron who throws ketchup at the walls of the White House?

What "corporate greed", Gasbag??

 

[Into the Night]

He'll blame the Fed.

I'll blame the Fed AND the Democrats.

Trump has reduced the tariff tax on China goods to 30%, which is still massive.

Meh. It simply means if you import something from China that is subject to the tariff (not all items are!), it will cost you $130 instead of $100.
Why do you want to buy so much from China? Oh...I forgot I was talking to Chicom.

Just about everything else has a 10% tariff tax.

Most stuff sold in the United States has ZERO tariff tax. It's domestically produced.

Trump and the Conservatives in Congress want to cut a lot more then the one trillion they cut from the budget that helps pay for food and health care for the poor and low income workers so they can give bigger tax cuts to the rich.
Trump, his low IQ MAGA followers, The Republicans and Conservatives don't give a shit about the hard working American people.
Never have and never will.
And those stupid MAGAs just might figure that out when all Trumps BS comes back and bites them in the ass.

Standard Church of Hate scripture chanting. TDS.

Hard working American people voted for Trump, Tball. They still support him.

 

[Into the Night]

I don't think he lowered the 25% on Canada and Mexico did he?

Depends on what is being imported, Tball.

 

[Into the Night]

They're raising prices because Trump's dumb ass added tariffs to imports. Why do you hate working class Americans?

"Working class Americans", don't import stuff from abroad. They produce products and services right here in the United States, and those are not subject to any tariff, Gasbag.

It is obvious that it is YOU that doesn't care about "Working Class Americans".

Some morons on here don't seem to understand businesses work on a profit margin

You HATE the word 'profit', Tball. You're a socialist!

and in order to keep making a reasonable profit they will have to raise their prices up enough to cover what ever that profit margin is.

Profit isn't a margin, Tball.

Walmart has competition...a lot of competition. Price discovery rules the market. Trump warned the CEO of Walmart about that.

Some morons on here think it is just so easy for a company to pay the tariffs and not raise prices even it they don't make a profit , some of them are sooooo stupid they think the companies can just pay them not make any profit and still stay in business.

Most stuff at Walmart is domestically produced, Tball. There is no tariff on domestic products.

 

[Into the Night]

The feeble minded Magatards don't understand that companies are in business to make money.

You HATE profit, Blat. You're a socialist!

Posting nothing but meaningless dumb insults is the hallmark of an idiot.

Glad you recognize yourself and your peer group of halfwits.

 

[Trumpet]

Glad you recognize yourself and your peer group of halfwits.

Nice try at deflecting, but unfortunately for you, all to managed to do is to show off your absolute and total idiocy; being the clown that you are.

 

[Trumpet]

When did I EVER say we should keep the borders open ?
NEVER.
And you are right companies want to pay as little as they can , most people do too.
I am a big promoter of taking care of Americans FIRST , our VETS in particular,
Putting an unnecessary burden on the American consumer using Tariffs that are going to drive up costs of just about everything we buy is a real burden on the low income hard working people of the USA and the poor, and now the Conservatives in Congress want to cut not just one trillion but several trillion dollars for programs that are there to help the poor and low income people so they can give even bigger tax cuts to the rich.
It sure look like to me they don't give a shit about the common American they just want to take care of themselves and their rich buddies.

His mind is too far burnt for him to be able to comprehend anything.

 

[Althea]

Shut up yourself, you shit heel. You commies are just psychopaths and nobody believes you actually give a shit about people.

Any time you are ready to back up your lies with citations, we're all ready to see them.

 

[Althea]

Nice try at deflecting, but unfortunately for you, all to managed to do is to show off your absolute and total idiocy; being the clown that you are.

Dumbfuck is about to make my list. He posts the stupidest shit, and then resorts to filth when called on it. I'm sure he's a sock of someone that's been on my list for years.

Trump's tariffs may mean Walmart shoppers pay more, his treasury chief acknowledges​

WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Sunday that Walmart, the largest U.S. retailer, may pass along some of the costs from President Donald Trump’s tariffs to its shoppers through higher prices.

Bessent described his call with the company’s CEO a day after Trump warned Walmart to avoid raising prices from the tariffs at all and vowed to keep a close watch on what it does.

As doubts persist about Trump’s economic leadership, Bessent pushed back against inflation concerns, praised the uncertainty caused by Trump as a negotiating tactic for trade talks and dismissed the downgrade Friday of U.S. government debt by Moody’s Ratings.

As doubts persist about Trump’s economic leadership, Bessent pushed back against inflation concerns, praised the uncertainty caused by Trump as a negotiating tactic for trade talks and dismissed the downgrade Friday of U.S. government debt by Moody’s Ratings.

Yet Walmart does not appear prepared to “eat the tariffs” in full, as Trump has insisted the company and China would do.

Bessent said he spoke Saturday with Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, stressing in two news show interviews that what he thought really mattered for Walmart customers was the decline in gasoline prices. Gas is averaging roughly $3.18 a gallon, down from a year ago but also higher over the past week, according to AAA.

“Walmart will be absorbing some of the tariffs, some may get passed on to consumers,” Bessent said on CNN. “Overall, I would expect inflation to remain in line. But I don’t blame consumers for being skittish after what happened to them for years under Biden,” a reference to inflation hitting a four-decade high in June 2022 under then President Joe Biden as the recovery from the pandemic, government spending and the Russian invasion of Ukraine pushed up costs.

Walmart did not comment on Bessent’s description of his conversation with McMillon.

In a social media post on Saturday morning, Trump said Walmart should not charge its customers more money to offset the new tariff costs. "I'll be watching, and so will your customers!!!” he posted.

Bessent said Walmart on its earnings call on Thursday had been obligated under federal regulations “to give the worst-case scenario so that they’re not sued,” suggesting in an NBC interview that the price increases would not be severe in his view.

But Walmart executives said last week that higher prices began to appear on their shelves in late April and accelerated this month.

“We’re wired to keep prices low, but there’s a limit to what we can bear, or any retailer for that matter,” Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Bessent maintained that the ratings downgrade was a “lagging indicator” as the financial markets had already priced in the costs of a total federal debt of roughly $36 trillion. Still, the tax plan being pushed by Trump would add more roughly $3.3 trillion to deficits over the next decade, including a $600 billion increase in 2027 alone, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

This sounds like a spin job from Bessent.
