Walmart tells customers to eat the tariffs.

Technically they probably could for a long time. But that might mean that some of the family members might demote themselves to multimillionaires instead of multibillionaires .

Why should Walmart have to raise prices? After all, China is paying them. Right??!?!?

This is such a weird and obvious denial of reality. Walmart doesn't have 30% margins on everything. Does Trump think he can get people to blame Walmart for price increases instead of himself? The Trump crowd loves Walmart.

It can only be a way to offset the blame and make it out to not be his fault.

Even if Walmart and other retailers were to eat the tarrifs, their profits margins would drop, which knocks their share price, which overall affects the entire US market.
