    It can only be a way to offset the blame and make it out to not be his fault.

    Even if Walmart and other retailers were to eat the tarrifs, their profits margins would drop, which knocks their share price, which overall affects the entire US market.

      Once upon a time, regular workers had pensions not tied to market casinos for rich people. Apparently that’s another lesson forgotten after 80-100 years. I guess the owner class thought 401k would prevent a repeat of 1929, if poor and middle class had a direct interest tied to the market.
