Procter & Gamble PG, +0.31% tried a different tack. In lifting prices by 4%-5% for its Pampers, Puffs, Bounty and Charmin brands, P&G explained the moves were meant to “restore structural economics.” CFO Jon Moeller, noting P&G’s stature as a bellwether, said in late July he expected an echo effect as industry peers follow suit with their own increases.

That’s a classic play. When the Federal Reserve lifts its prime rate, every bank in the land quickly raises the interest it charges borrowers.

Trump hits the Fed again in tweet: 'Tightening now hurts all that we have done'
  • President Donald Trump criticizes the Federal Reserve's monetary policy again on social media Friday, a day after his initial negative remarks were revealed on CNBC.
  • "The United States should not be penalized because we are doing so well. Tightening now hurts all that we have done. The U.S. should be allowed to recapture what was lost due to illegal currency manipulation and BAD Trade Deals. Debt coming due & we are raising rates - Really?" Trump tweeted.

As the trade war goes on, prices will go up, wages will follow, they will need to for people to buy necessities and China will no longer afford our prices, nor India or S. Korea.

/----/ We're their biggest customers. They need us more than we need them. Let's go to zero tariffs. We tried it your way for decades and it quite frankly sucks.
