Trump is not playing games with this giant retailers.
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social this weekend to blast Walmart for blaming price hikes on his trade tariffs targeting foreign imports, especially from China. The former president accused the retail giant of profiting off American families while shirking responsibility for supporting the nation’s manufacturing base.
This public rebuke comes as Trump’s strong stance on tariffs, inflation control, and economic nationalism gains renewed attention from working-class voters and retirees who’ve long watched U.S. jobs vanish overseas.
“Walmart made billions last year,” Trump wrote. “Between Walmart and China, they should EAT THE TARIFFS—not charge loyal American consumers a single penny more!”
🔥 Why Trump’s Tariffs Matter to Everyday Americans
Trump’s tariffs aren’t just about politics—they’re about bringing jobs back, protecting American manufacturing, and reducing our reliance on Chinese imports.
Key points behind the America First Tariff Strategy:
- Encourage domestic production of goods like electronics, auto parts, and pharmaceuticals.
- Combat unfair trade practices and intellectual property theft by China.
- Reduce America’s trade deficit, a key cause of long-term inflation.
- Support supply chain security in critical industries like defense and healthcare.
📈 Walmart Blames Tariffs for Inflation—but Is That the Full Story?
Walmart, which employs over 1.6 million Americans, warned that prices on products like bananas and baby car seats could rise by 20–30%. Their CFO claimed Chinese-made car seats could jump from $350 to $450.
But Trump supporters—and economists focused on consumer protection—aren’t buying it.
Trump’s message is clear:
- Walmart can absorb the costs and still post record profits.
- Corporate America should stop fear-mongering and start investing in the U.S.
- Companies that offshore jobs shouldn’t pass the burden to U.S. consumers.
🧾 Fed Inaction and Powell’s Silence on Inflation
Trump didn’t stop with Walmart. He called out Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, again urging immediate interest rate cuts to stabilize the economy.
“Too Late Powell, a man legendary for being Too Late, will probably blow it again – But who knows???” Trump posted.
While consumer sentiment has slipped, Trump maintains that targeted tariffs are working and that inflation is being fueled by Wall Street greed—not conservative economic policy.
🇺🇸 Trump’s America First Economic Vision
From steel and aluminum to cars and pharmaceuticals, Trump’s tariffs have reshaped the conversation around fair trade and economic sovereignty.
What President Trump promises:
- Lower foreign dependence on China and Mexico.
- Boost Made in America manufacturing jobs.
- Use tariff revenue to strengthen the U.S. economy.
- Put American families ahead of corporate profits.
This strategy resonates with older Americans who remember when the U.S. built its own goods, controlled its supply chains, and didn’t rely on communist regimes for essential products.
⚠️ Are Tariffs Hurting or Helping? The Truth May Surprise You
Liberal economists claim tariffs increase inflation. But many Americans are asking:
- Why should American retirees pay more while Walmart rakes in billions?
- If companies moved factories back home, would prices stay high?
- Isn’t it time we stop funding China’s rise—on the backs of U.S. workers?
Final Word: Trump Isn’t Backing Down
Trump’s Truth Social posts send a powerful message: The days of globalist appeasement are over. It’s time for American corporations to stand with their country, not hide behind excuses.
And for Walmart? The message is loud and clear: Put America First—or prepare to be called out.
