Walmart is going to raise prices because of Donald Trump's tariffs, the Supreme Court will hear the most important case of Trump's second term, and Iran is now open to a nuclear deal with Trump.
Ok but BS, Walmart made over 19 billion dollars in profit last year, a 25% increase from the previous year. This kind of corporate reasoning is exactly what led us to where we are now
They have no choice but to raise prices so they can maintain their lifestyle. Greedy greedy. But I am sure someone out there will tell me that I could have the same cash flow if I made the effort.
I would prefer to live as a kind human being. I don't need billions of dollars to be happy.
The problem is no one is buying general merchandise items this year which have the most profit…we are all focused on food and consumables which Walmart typically does not have a high profit margin on. If you look at the pnls of individual stores from this fiscal year they are not making their profit in most stores regardless of cutting others costs. Not saying it’s right but you need to evaluate this years earnings report versus last years and look at spending trends.
Me too, I boycott everyone who ended dei,I try to get all my products at Costco or the materials to make my own stuff. There's so many recipes out there
Hey Walmart! If you have "already slim margins" then you shouldn't have financially supported the Heritage Foundation & Project 2025 as much as you have. F you Walmart! I hope you fail.
F you Walmart President Douglas McMillion. You get most of your products from china. You also made $26.9 Million, 976 times the salary of the average Walmart employee.
Aaron, I love your work and appreciate all you do! I wonder, should we stop using MAGA and start saying Republicans again? I feel like we are letting the Republican Party off the hook for this madness. They are after all MAGA but when elections come round, people may forget that.
Good, I hate Walmart. They have more POC that shop there and still are racist. People could not shop their for a month and that family will be just fine, plus consider they don't have to pay taxes either.
Why do we allow Pres. Trump to get away with claiming not to know about a bill, an act done by people who work with him, etc. ? Biden was called Slow and Dementia was pushed at him. Why aren't we openly questioning Trump's mental capacity each time he says some form of I don't know? Why don't we question his ability to govern when he claims to be unaware? He needs to stop those claims or be called on them. Maybe each bill he claims to be unaware of needs to be rescinded. Each firing needs to be revoked when he claims to not know.
There was oversight and the Biden administration was going after companies that were price gouging but Trump got rid of all oversight and they are dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.... A blatant sign that they really don't care about protecting consumers just the people price gouging.
Hey Aaron. I'm excited about your show with Adam later today. I live in California and I'd like to know:
How can we get Jimmy Panetta, Alex Padilla and more of our congresspeople out there with us protesting with us. The town halls are little more than lectures on the evils to come. We are desperate for wider media coverage and politicians to stand up with us in San Jose CA
How about a comparison of this luxurious jet and the Trojan Horse? What exactly is inside this plane--and shouldn't Trump be required to pay for the pre-acceptance inspection out of is own pocket?? Afterall, "Who wouldn't accept it?"--Trump.

Oh also Walmart’s CEO to median employee pay ratio is 976:1
Agree it is BS! Just greed
💯 TRUTH
Those "slim margins" are gaining weight!
Agree!

I’ve been boycotting Walmart as the company has made significant contributions to the Trump administration.
Me too, I boycott everyone who ended dei,I try to get all my products at Costco or the materials to make my own stuff. There's so many recipes out there
Boycott!!
If I already don't shop there, what can I do in place of a boycott?
For one option, shop at Costco as Lucia suggested above...they are DEI focused.
Steph, you can take your choice where to boycott! Look it up online...here's one: https://grab-your-wallet.com/boycott/retailers
Me too
Walmart has destroyed communities and small towns. I've been boycotting them for decades and I'm only 38.

Yeah - boo-fuckin'-hoo. The owners have one of the largest private yachts on the planet - bigger than most oligarchs !!!

This is why they switched to digital tags- makes it easier to raise the prices over and over 🙄
what are digital tags? 🤔
Price tags. Rather than reprint and manually switch out, they can just reprogram them with higher prices
Probable truth
Yea…chimps are smarter than the whole Tangerine Regime.
And are more evolved as they actually have empathy.

I agree! Maga is isolating a percent of GOP. It is the whole group. I’m with you call it what it is !
I say Fascist Republicans.
Good point
Good because we’re not shopping there anyway
Good, I hate Walmart. They have more POC that shop there and still are racist. People could not shop their for a month and that family will be just fine, plus consider they don't have to pay taxes either.
nope !
This from a guy that had never heard the term groceries.................. He has never shopped for a family, in his whole sad, pathetic, evil life
Exactly. I believe this too 💯
Not good news but it is expected news. Delivered personally, by the President of the United States who apparently doesn’t like Americans
And they won’t come down- just like the “ temporary shortage price increases “ under Covid.

Exactly! Thank you!
Totally agree!!👍
Pam Bondi's prior work as a lobbyist for Qatar. This should be all over the news. She seems to be as crooked as the rest of them.
Oh she is…💯
Is there any oversight to ensure companies are not taking advantage of the temptation to price gouge in the name of Tariffs?
All those safeguards were removed.
There was oversight and the Biden administration was going after companies that were price gouging but Trump got rid of all oversight and they are dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau....

Great! Do that!!!!
$157 billion is gross profit, and Walmart says they can't possibly absorb some costs. I'm so glad I don't shop at Walmart anymore.
Gross profit only accounts for cogs not all expenses. Their net profit is $15.511 billion. Which is still extremely high but much lower as well.
