Eat the tariffs

Trump promised other countries would pay the cost of his tariffs.

Of course, that’s nonsense, but don’t anyone dare tell the Orange Leader.

And woe betide any company that makes it clear to the American consumer why prices are rising.


Trump expects Walmart to not raise prices in the face of an additional tax. He expects either Walmart or China to eat the costs.


China? Pretty please, lower your prices?

What? That’s a ‘no’?


Sorry, Walmart. Apparently the American government, the believers in free market and non-interference, are now dictating corporate policy and demanding you to take one for the team.

Because there is no way Trump can ever be shown to be wrong.
