Prepare to pay more at the pumps, thanks to trump's tafiffs

[Toddsterpatriot]

We'll have to pay more for oil imported from Canada for one.
And even if we don't buy from Canada, the world oil market shift drives up prices as the markets vie to make up for short term disruptions.

You think world oil prices will go up because of US imports from Canada might be taxed?

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Leave it to the man that clams to be the smartest human alive. He is just eat up with Common Sense. He does not have to listen to economist or scientist or doctors...cause he has common sense. Get ready to pay more at the pump and for a multitude of other items.

Are leftwingers really whining about high prices after four years with the senile idiot America just kicked out?

 

[Winco]

i am used to paying high prices....living in cal and nevada gets you used to that....

It was 3.05 to 3.25 in my area, being I-5 North of Seattle on Feb 1st, 6:56PM.

Production is going to ramp up so we can refill our strategic national oil reserves and within a year or less we will feel less pain at the pump...
The sad part is repairing all the damage Biden did is going to take time and more debt....

Post the current data on the SPR.
We need this to track what happens within a year.

Only MAGAidiot masturbation dreams if you believe gas is going down.

 

[Thunk]

Because Trump promised gasoline would go DOWN to $1.99

Yes he did...in the first YEAR!

Not in less than 2 weeks!

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yes he did...in the first YEAR!

Not in less than 2 weeks!

It may be up to $4.99 by the end of August.

 

[jknowgood]

Excellent. You voted for even higher!

Gas prices here in south carolina about 20 cent cheaper than last week. So I have no idea what you're talking about.

Gas is going down in south carolina, are you gonna complain about that?

Tariffs are already working as Trump proposed. Samsung and LG are moving factories from Mexico the US because they don't want to pay tariffs.

Based on what? The infinite wisdom of don lemon?

 

[Thunk]

I have to say...to really get production moving and drilling everywhere...

Nothing would do that faster than high prices! Not that I want high prices but it would ensure low prices for a long long while!

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

he economy isn't that simple. Tariffs are meant to make imports more expensive, and thereby spur domestic production.

Correct.

And what the idiot Trump and his equally idiotic supporters don’t understand is there is no domestic production to ‘spur.’

Many of the products that will be costing more are manufactured overseas as domestic production is too expensive.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Why weren't all of you Democrat bedwetters going crazy when Biden refused to remove Trump's tariffs in 2021?

Red herring fallacy; failed attempt to deflect.

The topic is the ignorance and stupidity of Trump and his wrongheaded belief that a trade war will ‘bring jobs back’ to America – it won’t.

People voted against Biden because of inflation, and unwittingly (because they're stupid and don't listen) have walked into even more inflation.

It had been going down most of last year because of Biden.

It will be at $4 a gallon by May.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Looks like Canada and Mexico are hitting back with their own tariffs. Heh heh.

This is the thing about imposing tariffs. You have to be really careful about imposing them and you really have to think things through all the way. Which politicians never really do.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Based on what? The infinite wisdom of don lemon?

Based on tariffs being passed on to American consumers.

 

[Winco]

Yes he did...in the first YEAR!

In a year?
I don’t recall Trump being quoted as saying 1 year

Can you quote that please?

 

[Thunk]

Can you quote that please?

Yes.

This is Thunk quoting President Trump "I will cut energy prices in half within one year".

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Yes.

This is Thunk quoting President Trump "I will cut energy prices in half within one year".

And the price of gas...has already gone up since he was inaugurated.
A good start.
