Felon Admits Tariffs Will Be Paid by Us

By Michael Woyton

The manbaby in the White House is furious that Walmart said the world’s largest retailer may pass along any tariffs to its customers.

On Thursday, Walmart CRO John David Rainey said in an interview that the company had never seen a time when prices have increased so high so quickly. 

He then explained that he was concerned that people shopping at Walmart might start seeing higher prices in May and in June.

That set off President Donald J. Felon, who posted on social media that the company “should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain.” 

The grifter-in-chief said, “Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, ‘EAT THE TARIFFS,’ and not charge valued customers ANYTHING.”

The pivot to blaming companies for the obvious consequence of your tariffs has begun

So I’m a little confused.

Is the mayor of Mar-a-Lago finally admitting that tariffs will be paid by the customer buying goods shipped to America?

Or has he forgotten his own lie that tariffs will be borne by the China and the other countries where much of what we want and need come from?

No one in his or her right mind ever believed that retailers or manufacturers would let the tariffs eat into their profits.

Are you finally admitting you lied, Donnie?

Chairman Mao would be proud of the grifter-in-chief.

The adjudicated rapist’s official White House photo is now glowering from a 50-foot banner hung on the façade of the Department of Agriculture. 

Hanging also on the building is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, WUSA 9 reported.

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins is spinning the addition of the president’s face as a “rebirth” of the department.

Former Republican strategist and now vocal opponent of the current Oval Office occupant Tim Miller said on social media that it was “deeply creepy.”

I agree, and will add that this is something dictators do. Oh … wait …

But thank you someone-on-the-internet for altering the image (below) by adding three other panels.

This is the best thing I’ve seen on the internet today.
