        Wal-Mart just announced that they're closing 63 Sam's Club stores, some effective TODAY. People literally showed up to work this morning and found out they don't have a job. Shall we talk about the loss of all those jobs?

        As you already know, this was a response to Target raising their minimum wage and was long planned. Stop lying to us. Also, WHY DOES JARED KUSHNER STILL HAVE A SECURITY CLEARANCE? #TrumpRussia

        Most of Wal-Mart workers are part time workers and need federal government help.

        Bonuses for employees with 20+ years at company. AND they are closing dozens of stores. AT&T and Bank of America doing same: bonuses for some [mostly management] and layoffs for lower level folks

        C’mon man.....up $1.00 per hour....a whopping $22,880 per year for a FULL-TIME employee. The $1,000 bonus for a 20 YEAR employee.

        I’ll give you a bit of negative news. I’m middle class and my taxes are going up. Now. I’m 54 and have played played by the rules my whole life before you pulled the rug out. On top of the nice surprise of higher national debt my hound kids will be paying off for their lifetimes.

        Furthermore, much of this “positive news,” including this with Walmart is not due to you. Was in place well before. Hate to break up your victory lap.

        Sell your “positive news” diarrhea to the 11,000 Sam’s Club employees who lost their jobs today. Once again, you and your fellow grifters are reduced to spinning the #GOPTaxBillScam.

        BTW, did you see that WalMart is closing 63 Sam’s Club with little to no notice to the thousands of employees impacted?

        Is that the same Walmart that has paid employees so poorly they also rely on government aid? We’ll see if that changes. Also, I’d hope they could find $ to raise wages with a 50% tax cut.

        They pay people below a living wage (thus creating poverty) more than any other company, then take in over 20% of nations food stamp money, while making billions and billions in profits before the tax bill. But yeah, tax bill FTW?!
