The president rage-tweeted that the retail giant would just have to “EAT THE TARIFFS” after the supermarket giant raised prices.
Donald Trump‘s tantrum about Walmart upping its prices over his tariffs has prompted furious backlash from members of his own party.
“What a weak loser thing to do!” former GOP Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois told MSNBC, describing the president as “that crybaby in the White House.”
Fellow former Rep. Charlie Dent, a Republican from Pennsylvania, appeared on the same broadcast, further tearing into Trump for leading his supporters to believe the effects of tariffs would not hit consumers.“This will absolutely be inflationary,” Dent said on Saturday’s broadcast. “Trump can go ahead and blame Walmart or any retailer for raising prices, but this is going to have a real impact.”
Trump’s meltdown unfolded on Saturday morning after Walmart executives announced the company would raise prices in response to higher import costs caused by the president’s trade war.
