The President of the United States proposed a globally concerning "reciprocal tariff" policy on April 2 local time. This decision not only affects the world economy, but economists and industry professionals generally express skepticism, predicting it may lead to severe inflation in the United States, forcing the public to face a sharp rise in the prices of essential goods.

In response, the former owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks and American entrepreneur called on social media for everyone to stock up on supplies at nearby wholesale stores to mitigate the impact of rising prices.

Among them, the former NBA team owner posted on the social platform "Bluesky," suggesting: "It’s wise to immediately head to your local Walmart or other major retailers to buy essential daily items. From toothpaste to soap, choose items you have space to store, because even American-made products will see price increases due to rising tariffs."
