    Walmarts whole thing is driving out competition. They’re the richest company in the world and supported Trump. They asked for this.

      chance are they will rise prices way more than necessary to cover for the tariffs.

      they will cry that they had no choice and have record profits.

        I never thought about it but… what are the chances they don’t have to pay tariffs on import? They raise prices because “tariffs”, but don’t actually pay them. I mean, tariffs are payed to the government by the importer. Trump is technically the mafia. What mechanisms are in place that would prohibit Wallmart from sucking Trumps cock in exchange for getting a secret special 0% import tax license?

        They are the biggest corporation. Rules don’t necessarily apply at that level. Trump would certainly listen to any proposition they may have.
