From Being Chicken to Playing Chicken

 

May 21, 2025

 

Walmart didn’t want to upset the Trump administration, so it cheerfully rolled back any DEI initiatives it had implemented in previous years. Whatever it takes to keep on the president’s good side, ya know.

 

But how far is the company willing to go to keep The Donald happy?

 

Only as far as its cash drawer, it seems. Now that tariffs are wreaking havoc on the company’s bottom line, it’s planning to raise prices. That, of course, will make consumers unhappy, and upset the administration’s dream of happy people enjoying a great big beautiful economy and praising Donald Trump.

 

Trump tells Walmart to hold the line and not raise prices.

 

Walmart says, effectively, “Sorry, Mr. President, this is business.”

 

Who’s gonna crack?
