Honestly, this is one of the rare times that even I have to say that Trump needs to pick his battles carefully.
The venn diagram of “MAGA” and “Walmart Shoppers” is basically a circle. And they’re the ones with the guns. Seeing their walmart bill spike from $100 last week to $235 or whatever the next week may be the straw that breaks some of the camels’ backs. There’s only so long that Trump can deflect blame to Biden before even they start asking “But you’re President now. What are you going to do about it?”.
If Walmart is successful at making sure that their shoppers know that Trump’s tariffs are to blame for the price hikes, there is a non-zero chance that it causes the leopards he unleashed to turn around and look at his face with that hungry look in their eyes.
Additionally he’s pissing off the last of the boardroom-class GOP, anyone not affected by the tariffs are now watching him tell the biggest retailer in the world they should cut back on profits, fucking profits man, that’s the thing you never cut. This is some super questionable strategy on many levels. Tho the stock market is clearly ready to keep the band playing well into the ship’s sinking.
