    Maybe it should be obvious, but if Wal-Mart is an efficient low cost operator and will still have pass through tariffs. Then so too will other retailers. Doesn’t matter if you don’t go to Wal-Mart. It’s not like Wal-mart will pass through and Target/Best Buy/Macy’s will magically be able to avoid them. All of them will, most other retailers will have LESS flexibility than wal-Mart. That “I don’t shop at wal-mart anyway” is just a really stupid take.

    ^ Trump will make all of the US retailers eat the costs.







    Because China pays for the tariffs.

    He's building the wall (tariffs) and making Mexico (retailers) pay for it!

    They fell for it again
