So he starts off saying that Wal-Mart should not be trying to blame tariffs for raising prices. Ok. He then says that they should just eat the tariffs. And lose money. So he's acknowledging that eh whatever fuck it he's just a moron.

Don’t even try man. It’s too stupid for a rational brain to handle.

Sounds to me like someone with no fucking clue how the world works. Yeah Wal-Mart, just go ahead and take a bath and lose a shitpot of money. Because.... reasons? Dotard said so?

So he does want to increase corporate taxes?  That’s interesting.

They're eating the price increases. They're eating the tariffs. Eat the tariffs. Eat eat the tariffs. /set to the tune of Eat the Cat by the Tik-Tok generation.

"Business man" president is shocked that corporations act like corporations who only look out for themselves at the expense of consumers? I'm sure he always ate the cost of things for his organizations and never passed along the cost to others. 

He knows they can't do that. He also knows that tweeting it out makes it sound like he is on the side of the people. It's all performative posturing.

I can't wait to see the calls for MAGA to boycott Walmart.  That will go over well.

The rubes will be crawling back in despair within 48 hrs.  If I was Walmart, I would jack up prices even more once they do crawl back.

why would trump want Walmart to eat the tariffs?

i thought the whole point was to:

1. raise the tariffs on Chinese goods

2. companies in order to make a profit, pass the expensive of Chinese made goods to the American consumer

3. products made in America as a result become comparatively less expensive

4. demand for American goods increases and as a result more manufacturing jobs in America for said American goods in demand

 

Does Trump understand what he is trying to do? For the plan to work there has to pain to the consumers, not pain for businesses. If Walmart eats the tariffs none of this works; it just decimates American businesses, with little to no effect on the Chinese. Good plan.

This. It's all bullshit to pretend he cares about people when in reality he gives no fucks at all.

Communist dictatorships using strict price controls could not stop inflation, what hope does a bloviated orange moron have?

Its either shortages or price increases, and there is not a damn thing the loser can do about it.

well, he can stop enacting pointless and vindictive tariffs, for starters. there's plenty he could be doing to help jolt the economy. the problem is he's doing the opposite. don't give him a pass on this shit

Prices already went up (see GPUs) and they are very very unlikely to come down, the damage is done, he can prevent future inflation however and that is where the ball is on his court (and I hope he bricks it)
