for saying that they were going to raise prices due to Trump's insane tariffs and trade wars. The company had an earnings call on Thursday and said that it will be raising prices within the month specifically due to the tariffs.
In his deranged tweet Trump says that Walmart should "eat the tariffs" because they made billions of dollars last year. Um, if they could then they would. What company can absorb even a 30% increase in prices without passing it on to consumers?
Bro has no clue how tariffs work and the stock market and our relationships with other countries show that.

All I got to say is leave things alone and wait for the dust to settle. It will be interesting to order groceries next month,

Yeah, I saw this. I, for one, wish they wouldn't increase prices because I do all my food shopping there; but it is what it is I guess.

I am afraid he is fighting a losing battle talking shite about Walmart.
Millions of Americans like myself who are impoverished depend on them for low prices.
Walmart is my hero.

Trump should have realized it would happen.
