So....the choices are pay the price or pay the price. Seems legit and very stable and super smart.
Also, didn't Target, Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowes all tell him this was going to happen, like 2 months ago?

He did a Walmart call out on his hate network the other day because they stated they were going to need to start raising prices. He publicly told them they make Billions and should just eat the tariffs and can afford to not do any markups for consumers.
I know Trump has zero idea how the economy or even a business works, but watching him telling a large donor and it's shareholders to forget about capitalism and take a loss on everything they sell so that consumers can afford them was chef's kiss. He is so in over his head at this point I don't see a way he able to keep the sharade going without it all crashing down.
If any other politician told businesses they couldnt raise prices, they would call it socialism
Yeah, but he said they ~~wereargument~~ were wrong. He has a big brain so he won that argument.
Edit: No, I have no idea how I did that. I blame swipe-typing, autocorrect, and a rare cosmic ray event.
What's a wereargument?
It’s when you shift into your wolf form before having the argument so you can look more intimidating. Are you really going to argue with a werewolf? Nah.
If they start getting barky I'll just spray them with silver nitrate.
AMP link really???????
I thought those were illegal now! Except in lawless USA of course.

Sorry, I didn't notice. I've fixed it.
👍
Cheeto really is asking to be assassinated, no?
Trump is so close to realizing that big corporations and billionaires are only there to extract as much wealth from its customers and employees as possible and that they don't give a single crap about them. So close.
Oh this is going to be fun. A war between the capitalists.
Pay the price or pay the price!
But was it not China that would be paying the price of tariffs all along? /s
Trump eat shit and die.
Shrinkflation about to get absurd.
It already is
Fighting for the people!!!
Please punish the major corporations.
