President Donald Trump on Saturday told Walmart CEO Doug McMillon not to raise prices for Americans, but to instead “eat the tariffs.”

Trump recently dropped tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% down to 30%, but this week, McMillion said Walmart still could not absorb the extra costs, and will have to increase prices.

“Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain,” the president posted on Truth Social. “Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected.”

“Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, ‘EAT THE TARIFFS,’ and not charge valued customers ANYTHING,” Trump wrote. “I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!”

McMillon made comments about having to raise prices, specifically over tariffs on China, during an earnings call on Thursday.

“We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible,” he said. “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.”

“The higher tariffs will result in higher prices,” McMillon added.

There have been mixed reactions online to Trump’s demand for Walmart to “eat” the extra costs. Some have noted that Trump had previously suggested that China would likely “eat” the extra costs themselves.

However, others, like journalist Batya Ungar-Sargon, railed against Walmart for hurting Americans while she said they “brag” about being a pro-American corporation.

“This is absolutely unacceptable and infuriating,” Ungar-Sargon said on Fox News airwaves this week, following McMillon’s comments. “Walmart walks around bragging that 75% of the products that they sell are made here in the United States. Why are you raising prices?”

“Do you know what Walmart’s yearly profits were last year? 169 billion dollars,” Ungar-Sargon continued. “Don’t raise prices. Support the president, support the agenda, support the American working class.”

Ungar-Sargon added that she doesn’t see these potential price hikes as “political,” but more about “rampant greed.”

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon warns that they will be raising prices in response to President Trump’s tariffs. Shoppers will likely see price increases toward the end of May and more in June.

The mother of a brain-dead woman who is 21-weeks pregnant is upset that her daughter is being kept alive to save the unborn child, a baby boy.

April Newkirk has told the press that her 30-year-old daughter, Adriana Smith, is being kept alive by ventilators, blaming Georgia’s pro-life law, which bans abortion of unborn babies after six weeks gestation, with some exceptions.

Newkirk says doctors told her she’s not allowed to take her daughter off the ventilators, so they can protect and save her grandson.

“It should have been left up to the family,” Newkirk said, according to NBC News. “I’m not saying that we would have chose to terminate her pregnancy, but what I’m saying is, we should have had a choice.”

It’s not entirely clear if Georgia’s abortion law is the reason Smith is being kept alive.

A spokesperson Emory Healthcare, the healthcare system overseeing Smith’s care, said they use “consensus from clinical experts, medical literature, and legal guidance to support our providers as they make individualized treatment recommendations in compliance with Georgia’s abortion laws and all other applicable laws.”

“Our top priorities continue to be the safety and wellbeing of the patients we serve,” the spokesperson added.

In Georgia, an unborn child cannot be killed via abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, except in rare cases, like the health of the mother, rape, incest, or some fetal abnormalities.

Back in February, when Smith was nine-weeks pregnant with her second child, she began feeling unwell and suffering severe headaches. She went to a nearby hospital and was given medication. The following day, however, Smith’s boyfriend says the 30-year-old was gasping for air and making gargling noises when she woke up.

Smith was eventually transferred to Emory University Hospital, and a CT scan showed multiple blood clots in her brain, NBC News noted.

Ventilators have been keeping Smith breathing for months, Newkirk said. “It’s torture for me,” she said. “I see my daughter breathing, but she’s not there.”

Newkirk added that her family is having to incur costs to keep Smith on life-support.
