Trump calls on Wal -Mart “eating definitions”

Donald Trump uses a new strategy to ensure that he does not blame consumers at the increasing cost of commodities: begging companies to save them. In a publication on the social truth on Saturday morning, President Wal -Mart targeted and said that the company should stop blame for its ongoing commercial war because of its high prices and insisted on the company.Eating“

“Wall Mart must stop trying to blame technical trips as a reason to raise prices throughout the series. Wal -Mart has achieved billions of dollars last year, more than expected,” he wrote. “Between Wall Mart and China, they must, as it is said,” eat definitions “, and not to charge the scheduled customers anything. I will watch, as well as your customers !!!”

I must say: We had in the first half there, and it will not lie. Trump, as he will do from time to time, stumbles in a “right for wrong reasons” situation by calling the fact that Companies’ profits continue to climb At a time when The cost of living rises The wages are largely stagnant – and in some cases, Decrease. This is the many reasons for pressure these companies to push their employees with fair wages, improve the benefits and conditions of the workforce, or CAP executive compensation, or just more social services and financing them.

Instead, he only calls on the greed of companies because it may affect it. Consumer confidence already in The lowest level in three yearsAnd for him Approval categories drownedIncluding hitting Its lowest levels on economic matters It is usually seen as strong. This is all before we really see the prices jumping from the Trump tariff. Most retailers have kept their prices as they work through current stocks, For each BloombergBut it is likely to change with new shipments and Trump tax was struck on the goods.

Wall Mart received Trump’s attention because he intentionally Keep its prices low During the first two months of the indisputable trade war. But now it is not certain that it can maintain it. CEO of Wall Mart Doug McMelon He said During a profit call earlier this week, the company will do its best to maintain prices, but “we are not able to absorb all pressure due to the reality of narrow retail margins.” This means that the price increases are coming, and consumers will know exactly: Trump’s tariff.

So far the president seems stuck between a rock and a difficult place in which he crawls good. It cannot Again to the bottom of his trade warEspecially with China or will look weak. He cannot do anything to reduce the costs of consumers despite love Take credit for cheap gas and eggs Whenever he can. So, he is stuck in publishing in a vacuum, and screams in companies to “eat definitions” for him. It is far from claim These definitions are a “tax on a foreign country” “that does not affect our country.”
