But I thought tariffs didn't increase prices!

[Nostra]

Inflation is the same as when Trump took office.



Thead fail!

 

[Nostra]

Remember when clowns like the OP were predicting massive inflation and a recession due to tariffs?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Notice that, while Biden was president, the US performed better against inflation than our 1st world counterparts did.

And now the US is performing worse against inflation than they are.

So you want to go back to 9% inflation?

And link us up to your data.

Am I missing something?

Inflation is around 3.0%?

UK's is around 4%
Australia around 3%
Mexico around 3.5%

No, I think you are right, i looked at the wrong numbers.

I don't know if anybody has read the Art of the Deal.
An example would be when Ann Sullivan wanted to take Helen Keller to a little house on her fathers' estate, she told them she needed time with Helen alone. When they asked Ann where she wanted to take Helen, Ann replied, "Italy"? When their shock were off, she asked for and got the little house.
If Trump wants a 50% tariff, he'll ask for a 100% tariff, and then let them dicker down to 50%. They think they did well, and Trump gets the tariff he wanted. There is no chickening out or caving, and both think they got a good deal.

Stop trying to stop Trump from making us money...

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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

You have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[ThisIsMe]

You have no idea what you are talking about.

How much stuff is made in america or by american companies compared to imported or by foreign companies?

 

[The Irish Ram]

Except prices are NOT lower and the job market is worsening

Yes, they are lower. Who out there is still paying $5.50 for gas? It was $2.39 when Biden took office. That is run away inflation. When is the last time you bought eggs? Now that our country is ramping up our fossil fuel industry again, prices will continue to lower...

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

How much stuff is made in america or by american companies compared to imported or by foreign companies?

Just don't buy foreign made products. Problem solved. No price increase possible!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Just don't buy foreign made products. Problem solved. No price increase possible!

Well that's not correct.

For one, domestic alternatives are usually not available.

Second, the domestic producers who are offering alternatives will raise their prices, because they can.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes, they are lower.

Lie.

 

[dblack]

Just don't buy foreign made products.

Obey!

 

[The Irish Ram]

Lie.

How much are you paying for gas?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

How much are you paying for gas?

Is this where I have to teach an adult what the plural forms of words mean?

 

[The Irish Ram]

Notice that, while Biden was president, the US performed better against inflation than our 1st world counterparts did.

And now the US is performing worse against inflation than they are.

Are you nuts?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Are you nuts?

Nope. Think how much better inflation would be right now, if not for the moron's tariffs.

 

[ElmerMudd]

So you ARE good with out of control inflation.
I'm really confused here. No wonder you and your ilk
are rudderless and without direction.
It's just I hate Trump.

Biden said his economy was good. People living paycheck to paycheck said bullshit. Trump said his economy is good. Costc are down. People living paycheck to paycheck said bullshit.
The braindead cult members believe every Trump lie.

Trump's bright view of the economy doesn't match what voters are seeing

NBC News exit polls from Tuesday's elections showed voters are deeply worried about pocketbook issues and the direction of the country.

As Trump celebrates low costs, Americans say they feel the strain

The president says prices are down under his watch, but Americans appear to be experiencing a different financial reality.

Explain getting Manufacturing up to speed.

It takes time for manufacturing to build, staff, and start producing.

NOT promises.

If your basing your views on campaigning, and the follow through, as a total assessment. Then I’m sorry, you’re doing it wrong.

Actual things in progress?

Look em up, you can see the pledges to invest as easily as I can…
