Bessent said “Walmart may absorb some of the tariffs. Some may be passed on to consumers.” What exactly does that mean?? NOTHING!!! Absolute malarkey why does he even speak?

Sad thing is, like you said, it's not even bashing Trump it's stating the OBVIOUS!

Of course they are!! Trump is talking like they’re gonna “eat” these increases what hilarity!!!! Walmart didn’t make BILLIONS in profit last year by absorbing anything. They’re not about to start now. OF COURSE these increases are gonna be passed on to the consumers Bessent, you DOLT!!

This is theater! They know that the market wedge is bound to break to the down side soon and are simply giving it and all the gullible peeps out there, a "reason" why it "happened" before it happens. It's straight up lying at this point; about the financial markets.

Customers can't afford the higher prices, so retailers will be forced to decrease their profit margins. Expect more layoffs.

Watch the last 15 minutes of Roll Over- if you can find it- tells you all you need to know about dollars, bonds, commodities and gold.

Lots of stuff heading our way. Stay 💪💪

Theater! They know that the wedge formed in the market will break and now they are reacting to it; before it breaks.

Hey, not to worry. Trump learned last week that companies will raise prices if tariffs are imposed. Shuely 'he saw the light!'

Trump is trying to bankrupt the Middle Class like he bankrupted his businesses. Him and his family are getting richer with every deal.
