Walmart could lose about $2 billion in November due to the suspension of SNAP benefits, which significantly impacts their sales as they account for roughly 24% of SNAP shoppers' spending. This loss is expected to affect not only Walmart but also the broader grocery industry and low-income families relying on these benefits.

    1. “Walmart alone accounts for almost one quarter of SNAP spending (about $25 billion), and SNAP spending accounts for more than 8 percent of their grocery sales.

      “It is difficult to understate just how important SNAP benefits are to economically vulnerable families, children and the broader economy. We should be doing everything we can to ensure that families have this vital source of support as the threat of food and economic insecurity continues to rise.”

    2. Re lies they should say. Prices rose drastically due to Trump failed handling of the pandemic.

    3. my point here isn’t about Walmart losing money, the point is WHY they will lose money, because people won’t be able to afford to eat.

      I’m not about to cry over Walmart losing money when they have employees themselves on SNAP.

    4. When you do a comparison the two aren’t the same items. Turkey price went up per pound, and you actually got more food last year, but they are claiming this year feeds more people (they’re fucking with the portions). So Trump is falling for bs marketing which shouldn’t surprise anyone.

    5. Walmart supported him.

      Once more selfish assholes and organizations are cool with people/organizations getting fucked over as long as they think they aren’t gonna be the ones fucked over.

      He didnt even know what “affordability” was until today.

      What a complete LOSER

    7. No matter how many different ways he says it and repeats it over and over again people notice when they can’t afford things anymore. And usually get pretty pissy about it. That might be the only thing he can’t make his base ignore

      Maybe Walmart corp shouldn’t have supported him & donated millions to GOP campaigns, for the honor of crushing their employees into the dirt even further 🤔

      Does Walmart regularly advertise Thanksgiving dinner prices? Must have missed that before.

      Wal Mart would be forced to lower prices if everyone has less money to spend

    11. So democrats try to tell people the economy is good and things are great when they’re not. They get destroyed in 2024. Then trump uses their playbook for the 2026 midterms?

    12. Your employees mostly haven’t been paid and probably won’t be in time to buy frivolous one day meal. Jesus they can’t afford this

      When I read this, I can actually feel the crazy of his post. Makes my arm hairs stand up. DJT is disconnected from the reality of what most of us everyday Americans are dealing with right now. It blows me away that crazy statements from are supposed commander and chief are still being discussed as fact. Disgusting.

      Affordability is a Republican Stronghold? Take away ACA, and SNAP, WIC.

      It’s a stronghold to keep those at the top with $$$ in their pockets.

    15. Serious question: when do we start panic buying food for what could be a supply issue that will ripple for months?

      Can people not just look around at the price of anything in the grocery store and know this is a lie? They cheer as they get gaslit. Such a sad time to be alive.

    17. It’s one thing for Trump to convince his base that every library is packed with drag queens because his base has no use for books.

      It is a whole different scam to try and convince those same people that they are getting MORE under him when they are standing in line at the food bank.

      All people have their limits and being hungry is near the top.
