Walmart to Increase Prices ‘On a Week-to-Week Basis’ Due to Trump Tariffs: Report
Walmart to Increase Prices ‘On a Week-to-Week Basis’ Due to Trump Tariffs: Report
At least there will be lots of new minimum wage jobs for those that have to re-price all the inventory on a weekly basis.
Most stores I go to nowadays have those electronic price tags that can be changed en masse by a corporate drone somewhere from far away. Scary.
Oh they want to price gouge now that everyone is excited for the radioactive shrimp
If they want to fix this, they should put a "Trump did that!" sticker by the new prices.
In case anyone was interested in where to find such stickers .... (Scroll about halfway down if you don't wanna enjoy the ride to find this one specifically) https://www.equalityink.com/product-page/trump-i-did-that-big-sticker-pack-100-pcs
"Eat the tariffs" - As if companies like Walmart would love to make less profits just to please politics. Heck, they usually pay politicians to help them make more profits!
“Rolling up prices”
Hey! wanna play a fun game? find a few items in walmart and take note of their price, then take note of the new tariff price, now the fun part, after the tariffs are over see if the price goes back to the pre tariff price (be fair adjust for inflation) .
Spoiler if the items still sell at the tariff price they will only go down a fraction of the tariff increase.
But Trump told me that they won’t do this and he’s watching them!! How could they go against daddy Trump! 🤣
They need to eat that cost! That's what their stockholders want! It's what's best for business AND consumers 🙄
Walmart needs to eat my dick.
Are we getting close enough yet to the hyperinflation stage of Nazi Germany for experts to consider this an issue?
Not quite yet, but as Trump increases his grip on the Federal Reserve, which should reach a tipping point when he appoints a new Chairman in May of 2026, you can bet 100% that monetary policy will hyperinflation on a level never before seen in the U.S.. Expect >50% annual inflation level.
There never was a hyperinflation in Nazi Germany. You are thinking about early 1920s Germany.
I worded my comment poorly. I'm including the rise of the Nazi party as a stage of Nazi Germany. I find the reaction to hyperinflation just as integral as the Beer Hall Putsch (which I often compare to J6) to the existence of Nazi Germany.
I think Trumpler is trying to check all the same boxes and isn't particular about the order.
fascists will blame it on biden and mexicans, and stained-wifebeater-wearing bumpkin yokel walmart shoppers will be parroting it before the fox news ticker even scrolls to the end of the sentence
AND they'll continue to shop there
Maybe. But not everyone who voted for Trump is a fascist. There are enough voters on the edge who really did vote for lowered cost of living, after four years of everything getting more and more expensive under Biden. Those voters can be won over, and this is really going to slap them in the face.

Maybe in 2016. But there's no excuse for 2024.
If you see a table with 9 Nazis, and you go sit with them, then you've got a table with 10 Nazis.
Then those people were fucking idiots. Things were shit under Trump 1.0 with the inflation starting under him, it continued with Biden who was trying to keep an economy from collapsing after the Trump idiocy with a pandemic, so brought back in Trump 2.0 to finish the job of wrecking the economy.
There are enough voters on the edge who really did vote for lowered cost of living. . . and this is really going to slap them in the face.
Honestly, I hope it rips their fucking faces off. Trump showed who he was during his first term, and it took a "fuck everyone else, gimme what I want" mentality to vote in favor of his second term. As a consequence, U.S. democracy is effectively over and everyone is much worse off for it. The leopards have been feasting, and it's about to get much, much worse.

I love how, with no ability figure out things like "inflation", or "pandemic killing supply chains means even more inflation", they're left with "Brandon took mah terlet papar".
I lump the "it's Joe's fault because we weren't told by Trump any other ideas" people in with the rest of 'em. They test-drove the circus once already so they knew better.
If they weren't cowards, they'd add how much is added to the cost due to the tarrifs on the price tag.
No no no... you don't get it. Walmart isn't cowards.
They funded Project 2025. This is EXACTLY what they want.
Easier to get those record profits without the transparency...
Then they couldn't pad the prices with extra grifting, or keep the prices inflated after TACO caves.
Here it comes.
Walmart, the Walton family billionaires, publically blaming Trump's tariffs doesn't leave much room for Trump, MAGA, or Fox to shift the blame. I suppose they'll still try, but I think even MAGA will understand the truth, though they may not admit it.
One of my best friends voted Trump, and I have tried like 3x now explaining to him how HE PAYS MORE NOW FOR GOODS because of the tariffs and I think I'm finally getting through to him. But he somehow keeps thinking it's a net positive 😭 this is what disposable income does to a MF I swear /s
Might wanna consider a new best friend set. If these people haven't come around yet they just aren't going to.
You'd be surprised the level of cognitive dissadence.
you're assuming they look for info about reality anywhere but fox news and truth social
Get your "I did that!" stickers ready
Get your guillotines ready.
THEY BETTER NOT! I'LL BE WATCHING AND LET'S JUST SAY THAT THEY WON'T APPRECIATE A CALL FROM ME (BUT IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THEY'LL TAKE IT)! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
This is BIDENS fault that TRUMP imposed Tariffs that caused our Prices to SOAR!
Might have been that Biden69 guy.
Honestly, this might be the one company the Trump administration cant silence over this. Dear god, we are all depending on Walmart to stop him.
It’s earning season, the numbers are in, and at the end of the day, the execs are more afraid of Wall Street than Trump.
Many more price are finally going to start reflecting tariffs in the states. The big companies are no longer holding back.
Grab the pitchforks and torches, if you can afford them...
What do they mean "on a week to week basis"? We've been shown, based on their television adverts in the last decade, that the little yellow price ball does that all the time. Were those commercials fake news?! /s
