Walmart grew not via the free market but by exploiting government programs & polcies, local, state & national. Food stamps was the most significant. T here were stories about this 20+ years ago. It's baked in, normalized. Trump is just more of the same, super-sized... ok, super-duper-sized.

The buck stops somewhere else: A look at Trump's tendency to avoid blame when things go awry
Former President Harry Truman famously kept a “The Buck Stops Here” sign on his White House desk. But the current president, Donald Trump, often veers from that motto of taking responsibility.

The black lung rate in Appalachia is now as high as it was in the 1970s. Remember: Trump indefinitely stalled a rule that would limit miners’ exposure to dangerous silica dust, which causes black lung. Trump doesn’t care about miners’ health. He never has and he never will.
