Wait just a minute... EAT THE TARIFFS!

Walmart should eat the tariffs????

Does this mean that CHINA DOES NOT PAY THE TARIFFS???

WE DO?

This is not what was promised Donnie…you said THEY PAY.

Explain Republicans please. Don’t leave MAGA hanging.

Love this.

that they should write checks to rich people, go to their gated neighborhoods and place the checks in their mailboxes. If these misguided worker bees want the rich to get richer at the worker's expense, fine. Just leave the rest of us out of it.

Some fruit is kind of in low supply. But strawberries here are in season, so no problem there. remember the big strawberries and ice cream dessert at Memorial day when I was growing up.

5. I think the tariffs will be paid by China to the U.S. government.

China will proceed to increase the price of the merchandise which it sells to Walmart in order to offset its layout of tariff payments. Walmart will then either (a) "eat" the price increase implemented by China or, (b) pass the higher prices along to the consumers.

17. You could not be more wrong. China will not pay tariffs or increase the price of its merchandise

Tariffs are only paid by the importer inside the US before they can receive the goods.

Where the hell did you get your claim? You dealt it so straight I think you did not forget a sarcasm tag but instead you believe your claim. What the hell?

I wonder if he understands that? I bet there are some folks in board rooms who heard it like I did.
