Democrat Logic
  • Walmart - "Horrible company, doesn't pay living wage, exploits EBT, costs American jobs, destroys small business"
Trump tells Walmart No, CNN/Money tells left to be outraged.
  • Walmart - "Great American company which can't help America because of Trump, Americans have to pay more for Christmas lights"


The derangement is on display here every single day.

But I have the funny feeling that the Walton family won't be hurting.

Here's what everyone is not getting.
Not boo Trump and boo tariffs he placed.

I thought ya'll were against crony corporatists?
I thought ya'll were the party of working class America?

Wouldn't you be booing these companies from not ditching Chinese made goods and seeking domestic production and domestic made goods?

Hence, his roll backs on regulations and taxes.

No reason in the world to not re-invest in this country and continue to outsource and look for offshore production. None what so ever.

Lucky for them ...

My extra five bucks a week went bye bye with rising gasoline prices, and with health insurance now higher and local property taxes rising my budget is tighter than ever before.

How many new plants have been built since Trump rolled back those regulations? I bet you could count them on one hand! I'll believe the Trump folks, when Tiffany opens a store in West Virginia and those coal miners retire to Palo Alto!

You know something when it really comes down to it do we really need half of the junk that is made in China in our houses?



Maybe these tariffs will stop so many Americans from buying more junk they don't need so they can stop being hoarders.



Here is a thought for the Liberals: WHAT IF Trumps tariffs actually made people second guess buying more stuff they don't need which would actually mean that less junk would be thrown into landfills as people either took better care of what they had or buy a better quality piece in the first place that doesn't break as easily and that would be better for the environment.

Imagine that.

NO sympathy for Walmart. They've been screwing suppliers forever. Assuming they were getting their goods at rock bottom prices, how come they can’t pay attention to their wonky grocery carts and customer service? I’ll answer that one for you...they don’t care about customer convenience.

Plenty of other stores manage to pay profit sharing to their employees, while offering high quality products and service.

So what, if Walmart has to pay more for their goods? They will raise their prices accordingly, just like everybody else.
