She’s on Team Cheap **** From China.

Trump’s on Team America First.

They are economic adversaries.

The late Sam Walton made it a point to source his store's products in America. At one time it was the "Made in America" store.

If Trump supporters just decided to boycott Walmart for one week, just one week, it would be interesting to see how much panic it creates. I mean, where are Walmarts mostly?

This should not completely comes as a surprise.

If everyone stopped buying all the crap from China Walmart sells or a very heavy import tax was put on all those imports from China it could dramatically impact Walmart’s profits.

Merchants and entertainers should be careful about political activism. Half your audience can be hazardous to your net worth.

Walmart affects your life in ways you don’t even think about. They were big supporters of Obamacare but it had nothing to do with caring about the health of Americans. They were already offering health care for their employees so they supported Obamacare in order to drive up the costs of their competitors who didn’t offer benefits. Crony capitalism at its sleaziest.

Are you kidding? Walmart could vanish tomorrow and the heirs could live like kings and queens for generations. A few hundred thousand employees wouldn’t be so lucky.

How things have changed.

15 years ago if you went on a conservative forum and bad talked WM for pushing co’s to go to China you were ostracized for being anti capitalism and anti free market. “How dare you tell private co’s how and where to operate”

Have been using the local Dollar General store for convenience instead of walking all over Walmart. Thought things were going well until I discovered their canned vegetables were from China. Pinto beans all the way from China! Forget it!

But back to the subject, I can’t help but think Sam Walton would be a big supporter of President Trump. Made in the USA!

Well if that isn’t enough to make Trump supporters stop shopping at Walmart.......
....................................
It’s certainly enough for me. I will never set foot in a Walmart again.

$20k is not a lot, but wallyworld will lose a lot more due to this bad publicity.

Hell, it will lose almost half that just by my permanent boycott.
