Donald Trump's own words are being thrown back in his face after his Saturday Wal-Mart threat.
The president over the weekend told Walmart's executives that they should absorb any increased costs that he has created on imported goods through trade policies.
"I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!" Trump wrote as he demanded Wal-Mart and China simply "eat the tariffs."

But that didn't sit well with many longtime Trump onlookers, who observed that the president previously said no one would need to eat the tariffs.
Author James Surowiecki said, "But Trump has said over and over again that foreign countries pay tariffs, not US businesses or consumers."
"If that's true, why would Walmart have to eat anything?" he then asked.
NBC political analyst Stephen Hayes likewise asked, "Why would Walmart need to 'eat the tariffs' if, as Trump has long claimed, 'a tariff is a tax on a foreign country'? (8/17/24, Wilkes-Barre, PA)."
Editor Jonah Goldberg chimed in, "I’m old enough to remember — because I’m not a newborn infant — when Trump said tariffs were paid by other countries."
"How can Walmart eat tariffs when they’re not already eaten by other countries?" Goldberg asked.
One popular account, Turnbull, asked, "Why would Trump expect Walmart to 'eat the tariffs' when he’s been promising us that countries pay the tariffs and not American companies?"
"Please explain it to me like I’m Sean Duffy at an airport safety for dummies class," the liberal influencer added.
Donald Trump warned Walmart not to raise prices after the company said it would have to do so “given the magnitude of the tariffs.”
