Every which way but loose
“Empty shelves.” Big box retailers are worried, and since it’s rare for these types of places to be concerned, it’d do us all good to listen to them. In private meetings, Walmart and Target warned Trump that we could be looking at “empty shelves” in as little as two weeks.
The CEOS did the talking. They were worried. You see, this is all about Trump’s tariff wars. Trump’s tariffs are making the markets swing every which way but loose. A manic merry-go-round it is! Tariffs one day. But wait! Trump’s changed his mind! Then the next day — no tariffs! Then the next day — tariffs are back!
“We’re on a carousel.” A crazy carousel. And now we go around. Again we go around.” The market cannot be expected to balance all this nuttiness. It wildly swings from day to day, going round and round, a whirling dervish of insanity all because a madman cannot make a decision because he’s incompetent.
So yes, in a private meeting this week, both CEOS gave Trump a sobering warning. Who knows if trump even remembered it five minutes later? If we do experience empty shelves, it is solely Trump’s fault. This tariff thing has gotten completely out of hand.
Even some in the GOP are saying it. Trump’s got no inherent STRATEGY. That is what all the insanity is about. The markets have been reacting with rattled instability, dropping one day and then up the next. Trump’s poll numbers look like they’ve recently gone through a meat grinder. They have.
And still, Trump floats, lost in the realms of his brain, which churns out nothing but madness, undoubtedly convincing himself things are fine and simply DANDY, even though two of the biggest retail CEO’s IN THE WORLD are sounding the alarm so loudly, he’d have to be an idiot not to hear it. But then again, look whom we are talking about.
