Walmart has issued a stark warning about the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, cautioning that their “magnitude” will directly lead to higher prices for consumers. The nation’s largest retailer made clear it will have no choice but to pass on the increased costs. President Trump, by contrast, recently claimed that Chinese manufacturers—key suppliers for Walmart and many other retailers—would probably “eat” the tariffs.

“We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible, but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a press release, according to Yahoo Finance.

President Donald Trump brought his fascination with the term "groceries" with him to the Middle East on Thursday.

President Donald Trump is on an international trip through the Middle East this week, and during his stop in the United Arab Emirates, or UAE, he rambled about the "term groceries."

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" combining tax cuts with energy deregulation and border security, which already appears to be in trouble as Republicans from every faction voice objections, includes a so-called "senior bonus" that gives people over 65 who don't itemize their taxes an extra $4,000 deduction. That goes down for people making over $75,000 per person or $150,000 per couple.

Former Republican-turned-independent Rick Wilson is sounding the alarm about a massive poster of President Donald Trump hanging at the Department of Agriculture building in Washington, D.C.

Writing on his Substack, Wilson explained that "propaganda" like this is all part of a plan to urge "your obedience and subservience to a culture that is inescapable and immovable."

Laura Loomer is arguably one of the most controversial figures in the MAGA world, and traditional republicans are "disgusted" by her influence, according to a New York Times column.

A massive banner of President Donald Trump is now hanging from the outside of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s building in Washington, D.C., opposite a banner of President Abraham Lincoln. Several critics are suggesting the hanging is fascist or authoritarian, with some saying it is giving off North Korea vibes.

“Looming down from the pillared front of the neo-classical facade is an enormous, brooding picture of President Donald Trump, adapted from his official presidential portrait,” The Independent reported. “The picture of Trump is reminiscent of portraits of leaders hanging from public buildings, often seen in dictatorships, monarchies, and in descriptions in George Orwell’s 1984 of ‘Big Brother.'”
