Donald Trump raged at Walmart for passing his tariff bonanza on to consumers and these 13 A++ comebacks are the only responses you need
There have been no end of people warning Donald Trump that the upshot of his tariff obsession will be higher prices for American consumers, despite his insistence that they would somehow be borne by the country he was slapping them on.
And lo and behold, this sort of thing has now been happening in the aisles of stores and supermarkets up and down the US.

So much so that Trump has got the right hump with Walmart, who he says should ‘eat’ the tariffs rather than raising prices.
And these are surely the only responses you need.

Why would Walmart have to “eat” the tariffs? Didn’t he say the other countries pay the tariffs? pic.twitter.com/ik7zOSiBbS

I’m old enough to remember — because I’m not a newborn infant — when Trump said tariffs were paid by other countries. How can Walmart eat tariffs when they’re not already eaten by other countries? pic.twitter.com/2DauWcsz6S

Why would Trump expect Walmart to “eat the tariffs” when he’s been promising us that countries pay the tariffs and not American companies?

BREAKING: Trump slapped tariffs on Walmart and is now demanding the company “EAT THE TARIFFS”—then closed his post with a thinly veiled threat.

Wait a minute… Trump’s mad that Walmart is blaming tariffs—that he implemented—for higher prices… and says the real issue is they don’t want to eat the cost?
So the problem isn’t the tariffs. It’s that corporations won’t sacrifice their profits to cover for his economic… pic.twitter.com/ZmQxdoNIjL

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Walmart, and every single retailer, should indicate how much of an increase is caused by trump’s idiotic tariffs.
And voters should blame him and cowardly Republicans in 2026 for allowing that jackass to do this. pic.twitter.com/div2ITtLW0
