It’s the tariffs that are going to cause the price increases at Walmart. The tariffs that Trump imposed. Absolutely no other reason And the tariffs have to remain in place consistently in order to make it worthwhile to ‘bring back manufacturing’ to the US.
Don't forget, it wasn’t the government that sent those manufacturing jobs to other countries. It was the companies that outsourced it to the lower costs of their products so they could make more money. It takes time, like yrs to build new manufacturing facilities. And it take raw materials too, the plan being that somehow we will have those available domestically as well. Tariffs that are imposed this wk. only to be used as bargain chips next wk, or next month or even 6 months from now are not solid reasons to invest in new manufacturing here in the US.
By the time the plan is made and financing is secured, the tariffs could well be changed or even gone. Who wants to invest huge when it’s too unstable? No one.

This!

Add this to the ‘ because it’s Trump’ rant and rage.. when Biden was president, the high prices were because of price gouging according to the dems. But now that Trump is trying and succeeding at bringing jobs back to America that you feel sorry for the stock holders now that want to raise prices..


Add your comment to the pile of evidence of your Trump Derangement. Trump admits that businesses will have to "eat the tariffs" in order for their customers to not pay more. How do you, as an adult, miss that tariffs are a tax paid by the buyer?

The point is if it weren’t Trump you guys would never mention it. Where was your outrage when foreign country’s gifted Jill Biden with a diamond or the $$$ and gifts Hunter was given.. And no matter how ‘ outraged’ dems are over a gift why aren’t you outraged over the media and democrat politicians lying and deceiving the American public about President Biden being mentally unfit to serve . The biggest scam ever in the political world. The democrats will reap what they sow


And now that is is Trump, you guys wish it'd just go away. Can't admit that the convicted felon isn't completely honest. Open to some crime. It's disgusting.

All the stuff that went to the Bidens was already investigated, and they found nothing illegal. I'm sure the Congressional Republicans would've loved to find anything, but all they could was a canceled check from when Biden wasn't in office. I saw the debate where Biden blanked out, but even that doesn't show that he's unfit for office, compared the the orange grifter we've currently got.

Only delusional democrats would still think Biden was good for the USA president!


It seems more delusional that you're praising Donald Trump so much. The guy imposed taxes on all imports and pretended that consumers don't have to pay the higher costs. He's an imbecile.

This week, he's flying around various Middle Eastern countries making pretend investment deals, and you're completely fooled. Note that those "deals" he's made are non-binding, and not bound by date or penalty. They hold no more weight than a "pinkie" swear.

Trump tells Walmart to ‘eat the tariffs’ after retailer warned it will raise prices
www.cnbc.com/2025/05/17/trump-tells-walmart-to-eat-the-tariffs.html

* Trump blasted Walmart after the retailer warned it will raise prices due to tariffs.
* The company is the latest to warn consumers could face higher prices because of Trump’s new duties on imports.
* Walmart’s CFO says the company is pleased with the progress in trade talks but that duties are “still too high.”

Trump griped that Walmart should not pass costs to customers (and apparently ignore their shareholders):
“Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, “EAT THE TARIFFS,” and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. “I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!”

J Biden in office of POTUS was a complete disaster for the USA!


Oh yeah. I forgot what absolute hell it was to have record market highs and record low unemployment, and the vaccination effort was ramped up so quickly that everybody forgot about the empty shelves left by Trump, back in 2021. A complete disaster.

My only question is why so much attention to a plane being gifted and why not to all the deals being made .... some are even good for the USA....
But yes .... it's all because Trump is the one involved ... give it a rest people , only a few more years to go !!!!!

OK, neat. Consider that just months ago, when Biden was still in office, Republicans were losing their minds over President Biden's brother and son having consulted for and getting paid by foreign corporations. Not even the president. It's obvious that if Joe Biden had accepted any such gift, it'd cause Fox & Newsmax on-air personalities' heads explode. The Emoluments Clause in the Constitution is clear. Never mind that Trump is making deals to put up Trump Towers in several Middle East countries just this month. This is a grift, and completely illegal until approved by Congress.

Just because it’s going into Trumps library when he’s finished if he ever rides in it. It will belong to the national archives.. there is a plane in the Regan library, but the Regan kids can’t use it… I think this is their ploy to move the spotlight off them and their 4 years of cover-up to hide the cognitive failure of Biden.. This is how low life’s roll.

The Trump Library is not the National Archives. And by the time it would transfer out of the USAF, it'll probably be less than a year out of the overhaul the jet would need to serve as a presidential transport. The jet in the Reagan Library (a Boeing 707), was retired after the then-new 747s entered service in 1990. I don't know why you guys keep missing this point. And that's on top of the "gift" 747 coming from a state sponsor of terrorism, and conflicts of interest from Trump himself, and his Attorney General with Qatar.

You've got a couple good photos, and you filled in the biographical questions, but except for offering your IG handle, you left your blurb empty. That's where you can tell people what you're like, and what you're looking for. You also left your headline as the default "Hi.." which is weak.

Maybe take a moment to fill in the text blurb. Also, if you create a unique headline (replace the "Hi..") you'll stand out in searches.

I suspect that lots of women don't even read the profile before they "Like" you, and if they're looking for a guy nearby, it might not matter, but leaving stuff blank makes you look lazy or possibly fake, so it's not helping. And for the profile with the lame blurb and headline, I'd only rate it 6/10

Good luck!

I have met legitimate people from this site, but not many. I have shared messages with a few that seemed legitimate, but we didn't click. But yes, most of the contacts seem fake, and you're easily spotting fakes.

I never take it off the site, and once they insist on taking it to IG, Signal, WhatsApp, or wherever, and that usually happens quickly--it's over for me.

There was a warrant that had previously been issued. So you don’t support our law enforcement but you support corrupt judges that harbor or enable convicted criminals to escape capture. Sound like a typical liberal democrat. I hope your side keeps that same ideaology throughout the next election.

I'm fine with law enforcement doing their jobs, but barging into courthouses with the wrong warrant just makes a mess, and ICE make lots of mistakes every day. I guess that's what you get when you discard DEI and just bring in "good ol' boys."

But yet it seems you missed the point that he is not keeping it for himself it will go to the Airforce and be displayed in the National Archives... Same as any President before him is suppose to do with gifts.. All the Gifts that Biden & his Wife received as well as Obama & his wife received yet no one went after them for receiving gifts.. This seems to be one sided all due to it is Trump....

https://www.facebook.com/reel/2517995091898388

I didn't miss the point. And gifts don't go on display at the National Archives. They go into storage. When every prior president was gifted anything, that went into storage in the National Archives (not display).

And yes, every president is given gifts from other countries. It's what they do. And nobody's complaining about the gifts that Trump gets that just go to the National Archives. The problem here is that Trump wants to accept the gift and use it as Air Force One--then keep it for his library foundation. And he says that we're being stupid for pointing to the Emoluments Clause. Trump really is an imbecile.

it seems that the dems are so incompetent at everything they try to do. Pitiful policies that drag america backwards , they put Americans behind illegal immigrants and criminals, they support judges that help criminals to evade law enforcement from arresting them. I hope they make a example out of the judge that blocked ICE agents from doing their job of protecting the public by arresting a wanted criminal. Lock her up.

I don't have a lot of sympathy for ICE agents who can't bother to get a signed warrant before barging into courthouses to arrest people. It's called "due process" and is the core aspect of our government that keeps us from tyranny.

Humm but then so many seem to forget Trump is not the only one that has received Lavish gifts... But guess many forget that both Rep & Dem have received Lavish gifts in the past.. Or is it just because it is Trump??

timesofindia.indiatimes.com/etimes/trending/beyond-the-400-million-jet-the-most-extravagant-gifts-ever-received-by-u-s-presidents/articleshow/121124035.cms

Sure, American Presidents have received foreign gifts before. And those gifts go to the National Archives, and presidents don't get to keep them.

It’s not unusual for one nation to bestow a gift to another nation. It’s a way of expressing their gratitude. Ever heard of the ‘ Statue of Liberty. Or the 3 airplanes FDR gave to the United arab emeritus.. it’s not Trumps plane it’s Americas plane. And it’s not a done deal maybe a ploy by Trump to get Boieing off their *** and finish Air Force one.

When the Statue of Liberty was gifted to the United states, Congress passed a bill directing President Cleveland to accept it. Congress still hasn't passed any bills asking Trump to accept any gifts, much less that plane from the Qataris.

I agree that Boeing has taken too long to finish the work, and it was originally supposed to be finished by now, but Trump's the one who renegotiated that contract. And here we are.

But you're right, in that foreign governments give gifts to the US president. But those usually just go to the National Archives. And besides, the the Qataris' "gift" is supposed to to to the USAF, then get converted (taking a couple years) and then "just before" Trump leaves office, it gets "transferred" to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation. So it's a loan, then a gift? Either way, it's a mess, and another example of Trump's corruption.

It is not against the constitution or any law for our president to accept a gift on behalf of the US. The dems are so desperate for any sane news regarding their corrupt party. They don’t seem to mind billions of dollars given to our universities from these same country’s they complain about for giving a multi million dollar plane for the presidents travel.. The democrats are so embarrassed about their last four years in office that did more detriment with high inflation, wars erupting and rampant crime to this country. Now we are seeing the successes for this country coming in like gang busters. It’s like night and day between the two administrations, It’s hard to understand why the dems support mis-management of tax payers money, open borders , criminal thugs and poor education.in our defunct public schools. Good luck trying to win another election in the near future . Most voters will remember all the lies reported as news from the corrupt MSM. and the democratic Party.


Your rebuttal would be better if you knew more about the subject.

Here's something from the US Constitution.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.


Until Congress votes to let Trump accept a gift from the Qataris, accepting the airplane is plainly unconstitutional (along with all the money he takes in from his resorts and golf courses). And even though Republicans hold majorities in the House & Senate, they obviously don't have the votes to let Trump accept that white elephant of an aircraft.

So in the news recently, we hear that Trump plans to accept a gift of a luxury airplane from the royal family of Qatar, which to many is a clear bribe. Aside from being wrong to accept a foreign gift--it's actually unconstitutional, the story is complex. It's also just another example of Trump taking payments from foreigners, which is illegal without Congressional approval.

Remember when Republicans were figuratively grasping their pearls over President Biden's family having ties to foreign organizations? So quaint. Trump is literally taking $millions from foreigners at his resorts, and through his meme coin sales--which his company gets a commission of EVERY TRANSACTION, on top of the coins they owned and already sold. Trump doesn't report his earnings from these activities, but it's estimated to be in the $billions.

www.huffpost.com/entry/stephen-colbert-trump-qatar-jet-gift_n_6822d7fce4b0abb58358dc06
* Trump previously recognized Qatar as a sponsor of terrorism
“But you know what? Donald Trump knows, Donald Trump knows that this is America. We do not negotiate with terrorists. We accept whatever they’re offering, no questions asked.”


Trump’s free plane is not so free
www.politico.com/news/2025/05/12/trump-qatar-air-force-one-taxpayer-costs-00342299
* The new jet is not yet ready to serve as Air Force One & needs hundreds of $millions in work to get up to spec.
* Work on the planes already being fixed to become the next AF1 would slow if they also had to work on the new plane
* The Qataris maybe be gifting the plane because it's so expensive to operate

Why Qatar is bribing Trump
popular.info/p/why-qatar-is-bribing-trump
* Qatar wants to keep the Al-Udeid Air Base open (largest US military base in the Middle East)
* Qatar wants access to advanced markets and technologies
* US A.G. Pam Bondi, formerly a paid lobbyist for Qatar, says that the gift is not a bribe
* Qatar supports Hamas

It looks as if Trumps tariffs increases have had a positive effect on American businesses and productivity. Many company’s are returning to US because they see the impact that Trumps America first has had. And they want to be part of the MAGA agenda.. all these things are greatly needed for the US to prosper and we are on that track now. Keep up the good work president Trump.

Got any examples that weren't already going to happen because of Biden's CHIPS or Inflation Reduction Acts?

That's a super long blurb. Could be a problem. Long prose is good when you have a story to tell, but you should probably trim that down a lot! The "ladies" asking you for money and your Signal username are probably dudes in Africa or Asia, anyway.

Good luck and I hope to see some of the ladies on here share their opinion, too.
