If Trump's tariffs aren't responsible for Walmart's price increases, he wouldn't need Walmart to eat the cost of his tariffs.

"Walmart should stop trying to blame tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made billions of dollars last year, far more than they expected. Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, 'eat the tariffs,' and not charge valued customers anything. I'll be watching, and so will your customers!!!"; -Donald J. Trump on social media apparently attempting to cow Walmart into lying, ignoring capitalism in favor of socialism, screwing over its shareholders for his benefit, likely hoping the cult won't spend any time thinking about the fact that Walmart's '24 fiscal year profits occurred sans onerous burden of an idiot's trade war.
