But I thought tariffs didn't increase prices!

[ThisIsMe]

Because of Biden's 23% total inflation, costing us $11,400 in lost buying power, that takes a lot to make up.

Americans need an extra $11,400 today just to afford the basics, Republican analysis finds

Compared with 2021, the typical household must spend an additional $11,434 annually just to maintain their standard of living, analysis shows.

Yeah but reciprocal tariffs are hurting us. It's hard to leverage something when your economy is based on the very imports they provide.

It has become crystal clear that Trump's only real motivation for these tariffs is to show others he has power.

Watch the real News, not PMSNBC; Trump is getting concessions, and more importantly he is finding alternate sources so we are no longer dependent on a single source for a given import.

Carrot and stick, or is that a foreign concept to you?

No, what Trump.is getting are half baked deals -- the negotiation of which harmed our economy -- as countries have him completely pegged and also know the next sane president will undo the Trump tariff debacle.

Reciprocal tariffs mean: when they tarriff US products, we tariff their products. I don't see any problem with fair tariffs.

We tariffs their products, now they are tariffing ours

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Like what?

Like the hilarious UK "trade deal".

Like losing two vanity trade wars with the second largest economy in the world.

All on the backs of the average American. Trump conscripted us all for what will go down in history as a prime example of economic mismanagement.

We tariffs their products, now they are tariffing ours

That's like saying "They beat their kids, now we beat ours"

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

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.

None of the doom and gloom you were told to believe recording the economy came true. Americas economy is doing fine despite your hopes it fails.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

He's panicking.

You’re panicking and have been for ten years.

it’s a prime example of your TDS.

That's like saying "They beat their kids, now we beat ours"

Or, "You tried to set my house on fire, so I will burn down both of our houses to put you in your place."

It's what happens when government has too much power over trade.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Precisely. Optimizing tariff policy is always a good idea.

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

Hurt feels. You’ll get over it.

…or all the trade deals they are causing countries to sign, Simp.

Lies.
