Trump's Tariffs hit Walmart Shoppers!! (CNN, Christmas, Obama, companies)

[TheEmissary]

Looks like Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods will hit Walmart big time! Get ready to spend some of that tax cut on higher prices at Walmart. Just in time for Christmas! I guess those kiddies will have to do with less toys.

Summary, not filtered through the CNN owned rag, Money:

• Walmart asks for special priviledges.

• Trump said no.

Don't see the problem here. This is what we elected him to do.


He ran against crony capitalism, and this is him keeping that promise. Of course Walmart flourished under Obama.

So did Apple, WK! Trump made them "privileged". Are corporations not all equal in the eyes of dear Orange Leader?

Americans don't mind paying more. They can spend those tax cuts. Trump cult is swimming in money according to them, so I'm sure it is no big deal if consumers goods increase in price.

If fewer people are buying fewer china-made toys and articles of clothing, how can that be a bad thing? No kid needs one more object, and nobody needs more clothes! (With the exception of growing kids.)

Trump is the epitome of crony capitalism. He's giving himself and his buddies all they can get and the working class will pay for it. Looks like import taxes on the consumer will be the new way to cut the deficit? Or will all of that extra revenue be used to bail out farmers and industry in areas that voted for Trump?

Yeah My grandkids only get American made toys not toxic China junk.

I guess it's no skin off your back if the California Barbie Dream House costs more than than your own North Carolina house is worth! Those West Virginia coal miners who are now flush with cash, will be buying their kids a new iPhone XS Max and an Apple Watch this Christmas. Right! Must be nice to go shopping at Nordstrom's with Ivanka! Do tell!
