    He should totally seize control of Walmart and nationalize it in order to keep costs low! In fact, nationalize the biggest private industries while he’s at it! Show em who’s boss! Fire every capitalist who opposes him and replace them with working class representatives! Can’t get no respect from the capitalists, he’s gonna have to bring in people who can respect others. And can’t trust just anyone either, lot of sycophants out there, so he should totally draw from indigenous states for help and support, and listen to their advice on what to do with the US going forward.

    Keeping the costs low means the tarrifs will have no effect. The point of tarrifs is to increase the cost and make domestic products more attractive to consumers. Having Walmart eat the cost of tarrifs means that foreign products will retain their price competitiveness with domestic products and result in absolutely no domestic investment in production.
