Walmart may become Ground Zero in the politics of trade when China tariffs start to bite.
No doubt many Trump supporters (and many others) will start to see price increases.
“Free traders” (i.e., brainwashed or bought-and-paid-for Republicans) will scream: “I told you so.”
I am sure there are still many Americans who think old Sam’s philosophy of “Buy American” is still in force; but alas, WALMART is now a major distribution arm of Communist China.
I think it will be interesting to see if WALMART adapts and survives the new MAGA reality, or goes the way of so many other giant retailers.
Having said all that ... I do not blame WALMART for maximizing their profits. That is the #1 task of every business in a capitalist society.
About the only thing I buy at Wal-Fart is fire starters. Sometimes other things but rarely.
