Economists Did Not Get It Wrong When It Comes To Assessing The Impact Of Tariffs

(WMT/Nasdaq) sits in a deceptively unusual spot in U.S. equities: it is simultaneously a classic “defensive” staple retailer (a grocery-led traffic machine) and an increasingly digital, data-rich platform trying to earn a higher multiple through higher-margin profit pools—advertising, marketplace services, fulfillment, and memberships.
Walmart’s relevance in late 2025 is tied [...
We’ve got to recognize how Trump's leadership has reshaped our economy, even in sectors like retail. This article highlights Walmart's dual role as a defensive staple and a tech-savvy giant, and it’s a testament to the success of Republican values promoting free markets. Under Trump, we saw policies that encouraged businesses to innovate and thrive, which is crucial for maintaining American strength.
It’s concerning, though, how some still doubt the positive impact of tariffs. These measures are essential for protecting our jobs and industries from unfair competition. When we support conservative principles, we’re backing a system that prioritizes freedom and personal responsibility, ensuring that our businesses can flourish without being undermined by foreign entities.
Let’s keep celebrating these wins and remain vigilant against the liberal overreach that threatens our economic success. By championing patriotism and supporting our law enforcement and military, we can maintain the groundwork laid by Trump and continue to secure a prosperous future for all Americans.
