Trump Slashes SNAP, Walmart Rings Cash Registers Joyfully
Starting Monday, thanks to President Trumpâs work-demanding magic wand waving the SNAP policy, 2 million Americans may have to starve for fewer benefits until age 64 instead of 54. But hey, Walmart is ready to throw a discount party! Analysts like Michael Baker and Scott Moses predict that while SNAP shoppers might buy less, theyâll crowd Walmart's aisles like it's an all-you-can-afford buffet. Walmart, the grocery giant gobbling 24% of SNAP spending, prides itself on being low-priced enough to turn despair into foot traffic goldâdespite tariffs threatening to make dollar menus cost more. CEO Doug McMillon braced for cost hikes, CFO John David Rainey claims price hikes are as 'gradual' as a glacier meltâso keep the savings carts rolling!
