But I thought tariffs didn't increase prices!

[Mac1958]

This is weird. Why would he pull any of the insane tariffs that HE PUT IN PLACE?

Trump scraps tariffs on beef, coffee and tropical fruit in a push to lower grocery store prices

It's almost as if tariffs increase prices. But, as we're told, that doesn't happen.

 

[elektra]

Or, maybe those countries dropped their tariffs and barriers just like Trump planned

Another win, drop your tariffs or we will tariff your goods.

On top of that the swiss are building a billion dollar chocolate plant in the USA.

Jobs and lower prices, thank you Trump

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Trump put tariffs in place to grift and extort $$$.

He's panicking.

Except prices are NOT lower and the job market is worsening

I don't think they're told about that. Seriously.

This reneging is the result of lazy, Bombastic Tariff Policy

Vs.

Thought out, Strategic Tariff Policy

Precisely. Optimizing tariff policy is always a good idea.

But you don't do it like a ******* caveman.

You had your chance. Your policies are many decades old. We are in decline. A slow one.

What are my policies?

Oh, that's right. You have no idea.

I'm not talking about policy.

I think he means the democrat policies that were in place before Trump took office, not your personal policy preferences.

Trump's policies need time to work. I don't know if they will kick-in by the mid-terms, we'll see.

Nations go through eras. And the eras can overlap. We cannot compete as it is now. Policies are baked in from the past. You take credit for our greatness from the WW 2 era. You never let us forget it. Yet you really did nothing. We were destined to be the top nation after WW 2. You went for the ride. Privileged manufacturing employment enjoyed great living until the bills started to come due. Your women are the death of the west. And you cannot accept that. Many men will not die for women anymore. And you cannot see that. You are demonic. The world will not be kumbaya as there is very little percentage of people who will purposely lower their living standards for their fellow humans. Look at the leaders of us moving to Communism in D.C. They live like spoiled Capitalists while promoting the comrades' spiel or go to the gulag's mantra.

Apr 2, 2025 — Australian prime minister surprised after remote external territories – including islands home to penguins – targeted by US president.

A group of barren, uninhabited volcanic islands near Antarctica, covered in glaciers and home to penguins, has been swept up in Donald Trump’s trade war, as the US president hit them with a 10% tariff on goods.

Heard Island and McDonald Islands, which form an external territory of Australia, are among the remotest places on Earth, accessible only via a two-week boat voyage from Perth on Australia’s west coast. They are completely uninhabited, with the last visit from people believed to be nearly 10 years ago.

Perfect example.

Absolute stupidity. And he was so proud of his little chart.

MAGA = Dunning-Kruger, all day.

Most of the items I regularly purchase have come down.

The recent cuts in employment are due to overstaffing from the pandemic and AI integration into the workforce.

AI is the best thing since sliced bread?

Maybe? They either did or they didn’t.
