This would result in foreign products maintaining their price competitiveness against domestic products, preventing the supposed domestic investment in production that the tarrifs are aimed at.

Stealing this from a post on twitter: This is an example of how Trump doesn't come from the shareholder capitalist class, he's a real estate mob guy. These distinctions between factions of capitalists are important.
fair, but what is he going to do? nationalize them? a fine? words alone don't do anything
nationalizing Wal Mart
Socialism with American Characteristics
People's Republic of WalMart
He won't do shit. But at least his deeply unserious followers can pretend he put up a valiant fight against the inevitable higher prices on their behalf. 
The prices will triple, but daddy Trump will tell them they’re actually plummeting and they’ll believe him
"chocolate rations raised to 15 grams" hours and we'll still have to hear about communism democrat 1984
nationalize them?
JDPON DON will nationalize the heights of the American treat economy. Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Disney, all will be brought under the direct control of the American Dictatorship of the Don-letariat
Bit idea: convince Trump to rename the USA "Trump Island" and that he can own all the companies by nationalizing them since they'll have to put his name on everything.
I don't think he's quite that out against his own class, but it would be really funny
I’m likely preaching to the choir but he’s pretty clearly setting them up to take the blame when prices go up rather than seriously expecting the executives to just be ok with depressing their margins with no benefit.
He should demand a hostage from each member of the board of directors to ensure loyalty from Walmart
Retrvn to tradition
The tail trying to wag the dog again
Maybe the Waltons will throw him under the bus.
They’re conservative AF but this is going to threaten their bottom line.
They should start calling it the Trump Tax.
They'll raise prices but poor people won't blame Trump because he told them not to. Blame shifts to Walmart for raising it rather than Trump for making the tariffs in the first place.
I thought China was going to?
China is just a division of walmart
And they'll raise prices and nothing will happen except poor people getting squeezed.
Good goood now remind people of the Walton's connection to 
and 
.
Most likely WalMart will rebrand as a 
store and tell the poors to piss off while Wall Street collectively bukkakes on the 
....then again..... Welcome to Costco. I love you.
(But fuck Chitibank) seriously.
JDPON Don! JDPON Don!
lmao
Let them eat tariffs.
If this isn't the perfect display of massive ignorance...
