What does Trump think his attention does?

Wal-Mart's shareholders will be watching if they "eat the tariffs." https://t.co/2STndnHlPy

Well this is just batshit insane behavior but nothing to see here.

Imagine if Biden was screaming at McDonalds or whoever that they should just 'eat the cost' of inflation and not raise the price of big macs (or they'll be sorry). I'm sure that would go over well. https://t.co/NXIHk73C0W

I thought Trump said other countries would be paying the tariffs. I thought Trump said we would be setting up an External Revenue Service to collect tariff money from other countries. Did something change or is he just full of shit every time words come out of his mouth https://t.co/ttUKbDfaI1

As everyone living in objective reality predicted, Trump’s tariffs are causing companies to raise prices. Other countries aren’t eating the costs. Companies won’t eat the costs. The American consumer will.

Trump yelling at Walmart can’t override the basic physics of capitalism. https://t.co/2Quczgnv8K

Trump seems to concede that price increases associated with tariffs are not good for him politically. It's not just b/c tariffs are effectively a tax passed through to consumers but also that he spent a lot of political capital persuading people that 'up is down' on this issue. https://t.co/Nf5BvHsRqj

Trump may grudgingly concede reality. But he’ll never take responsibility for it.
