    It should, but it won’t. Even without checking, there’s a 0% chance the Waltons and Wal-Mart’s upper management aren’t MAGAs. They’re not gonna eat the tariffs, but they’re not gonna throw Trump under the bus any more than they have to either.

      They aren’t MAGA. They’re in only for themselves and will temporarily ally with anything they think make them more in the long run. Which currently is Trump with MAGA, and while they share the motivation with him, it’s selfish. I mean if he wanted to, Trump could offset the higher cost. Why should Walmart and not the one causing it?
