Oh they want to price gouge now that everyone is excited for the radioactive shrimp
“Rolling up prices”
If they want to fix this, they should put a "Trump did that!" sticker by the new prices.
"Eat the tariffs" - As if companies like Walmart would love to make less profits just to please politics. Heck, they usually pay politicians to help them make more profits!
Hey! wanna play a fun game? find a few items in walmart and take note of their price, then take note of the new tariff price, now the fun part, after the tariffs are over see if the price goes back to the pre tariff price (be fair adjust for inflation) .
Spoiler if the items still sell at the tariff price they will only go down a fraction of the tariff increase.
But Trump told me that they won’t do this and he’s watching them!! How could they go against daddy Trump! 🤣
- They need to eat that cost! That's what their stockholders want! It's what's best for business AND consumers 🙄
  
  Walmart needs to eat my dick.
Are we getting close enough yet to the hyperinflation stage of Nazi Germany for experts to consider this an issue?
- Not quite yet, but as Trump increases his grip on the Federal Reserve, which should reach a tipping point when he appoints a new Chairman in May of 2026, you can bet 100% that monetary policy will hyperinflation on a level never before seen in the U.S.. Expect >50% annual inflation level.
  
  Yippee!!! 50% increase! So you're saying I should buy all the bread and eggs right now, store them until May of next year, and then I'll be a billionaire, too???
  Me in December: this place smells like shit...
- There never was a hyperinflation in Nazi Germany. You are thinking about early 1920s Germany.
  
  I worded my comment poorly. I'm including the rise of the Nazi party as a stage of Nazi Germany. I find the reaction to hyperinflation just as integral as the Beer Hall Putsch (which I often compare to J6) to the existence of Nazi Germany.
  I think Trumpler is trying to check all the same boxes and isn't particular about the order.
fascists will blame it on biden and mexicans, and stained-wifebeater-wearing bumpkin yokel walmart shoppers will be parroting it before the fox news ticker even scrolls to the end of the sentence
- AND they'll continue to shop there
- Maybe. But not everyone who voted for Trump is a fascist. There are enough voters on the edge who really did vote for lowered cost of living, after four years of everything getting more and more expensive under Biden. Those voters can be won over, and this is really going to slap them in the face.
  
  Then those people were fucking idiots. Things were shit under Trump 1.0 with the inflation starting under him, it continued with Biden who was trying to keep an economy from collapsing after the Trump idiocy with a pandemic, so brought back in Trump 2.0 to finish the job of wrecking the economy.
  
  There are enough voters on the edge who really did vote for lowered cost of living. . . and this is really going to slap them in the face.
  Honestly, I hope it rips their fucking faces off. Trump showed who he was during his first term, and it took a "fuck everyone else, gimme what I want" mentality to vote in favor of his second term. As a consequence, U.S. democracy is effectively over and everyone is much worse off for it. The leopards have been feasting, and it's about to get much, much worse.
If they weren't cowards, they'd add how much is added to the cost due to the tarrifs on the price tag.
- No no no... you don't get it. Walmart isn't cowards.
  They funded Project 2025. This is EXACTLY what they want.
- Easier to get those record profits without the transparency...
  
  Then they couldn't pad the prices with extra grifting, or keep the prices inflated after TACO caves.
Here it comes.
THEY BETTER NOT! I'LL BE WATCHING AND LET'S JUST SAY THAT THEY WON'T APPRECIATE A CALL FROM ME (BUT IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THEY'LL TAKE IT)! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
This is BIDENS fault that TRUMP imposed Tariffs that caused our Prices to SOAR!
- Might have been that Biden69 guy.
Honestly, this might be the one company the Trump administration cant silence over this. Dear god, we are all depending on Walmart to stop him.
It’s earning season, the numbers are in, and at the end of the day, the execs are more afraid of Wall Street than Trump.
Many more price are finally going to start reflecting tariffs in the states. The big companies are no longer holding back.
Grab the pitchforks and torches, if you can afford them...
