Cars, coffee and clothing are poised to get pricier with new tariffs

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

You guys see this:

President Donald Trump plans to impose a 100% tariff on imported computer chips, a move experts warn could compel companies to pull back on production or hike prices.

Details remain murky, and the inflationary pressures likely won't be as dramatic as those from other tariffs. Still, a new tariff on chips could hit a wide range of products, from smartphones and laptops to cars and video game consoles.

"If you look at the industries that need chips, it's almost everything. You probably have at least 100 chips involved in the things you've done today," said Zac Rogers, an associate professor of operations and supply chain management at Colorado State University.

And I had the foresight to stock up on coffee a few months ago. Got about 20 pounds.

.

Folgers is about a buck and a half more here. Nowhere near doubled in price

Trump was blamed for the covid disaster. He’ll get blamed for any recession. That I am sure of. Only 1-2% of people need to change their vote for the midterms to be a disaster for the republicans.

He wasnt although you were told to

This is our cheapest option from Walmart for a large can. I don't drink coffee much, a small jar will last me 6 months or longer.

I dont know how that compares to the U.S but that's the best bang for our buck at the moment, not a specialty coffee, organic or anything.

Trump wont be able to tell people they are better off when they are worse off.

Trump just did a press conference claiming people are 10Xs richer now that he is in office. No kidding. He claimed the “Medium Salary” went up by $6,000 this year already. No lie. First that’s not true. Second, it’s median not medium i assume.

One of the charts proudly displayed by the president wrongly reported on “medium” family income.

The monthly consumer price index report is coming out on Tuesday at 8:30am Eastern. It's reported by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Since their last Commissioner was blown out for giving bad news, the acting Commissioner is Bill Wiatrowski. I guess his job is now on the line.

So he thinks people only make $600 a year?

Who knows what he meant? Same press conference he claimed these were the best numbers, didnt explain what the numbers were, and held up a graph with a misspelling.

His mouth is like a lawn sprinkler of bullshit, every day.

??? It's being reported across the major news sources that Trump actually said this, so where are the leftist lies?

Very smart. Prices are going to rise. But smart shopping can mitigate shortco.ings in this nation.

Key phrase -- "major news sources".

Coffee’s already double what it was just a little while ago

I've been saving my grocery receipts for a couple months now.

I have not yet done a comparison between then and now.

But meat prices are at a record high.

In MAGA world, egg prices were Biden's fault, but the jackals will find a way to not blame Trump for their meat.

I hope it tastes bitter. If they can afford it, that is.

.

 

[g5000]

That won't matter though. People want results not excuses.

Actually, MAGA takes any excuse they are fed. It does not matter if Trump takes a flamethrower to their houses, they willl accept any reason he gives them.

"I had to burn this village to save it!"

"He burned my house down just in the nick of time!"

Jesus Christ dude, when the AP, Reuters, USA Today, CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX all reported this, how many does it take to convince you that Trump actually said it? Those are ALL major news sources. There's a lot of crap said about Trump that is for or against him but this isn't a leftist lie.

 

[g5000]

Trump was blamed for the covid disaster.

That's because he deserved blame. And lots of it.

.

He’ll get blamed for any recession.

Because he will be the cause of it.

Ayup.

Trump is doing his best to rig it, though. Texas is just the beginning.

Thanks for sharing.

"Poised" to get pricier? Lefties never have a nice day even on a nice day. The democrat party has no leadership, they back all the wrong issues and they nominated a freaking communist to run NYC. Now they are back to tariffs. Ho hum.
