Prices going up because of Trump tariffs

[SweetTea]

No, they are not. We can always tell when you are lying. You are writing.

You did see the inflation report the other day, right?

Do you have any empirical data to support your belief?

Tariffs are about to drive up prices for the American consumer.

Volley after volley of tariffs — and at times on-again, off-again trade actions — have put companies around the world on edge. And a handful of major retailers have already raised prices across the U.S., or warned of future hikes.​

​

Trump has slapped new import taxes on nearly all of America's trading partners and a range of sector-specific goods in recent months — all while some targeted countries, notably China, have responded with their own retaliatory duties. While many of the steepest tariffs have since been paused or reduced, scores of other remaining levies have piled up on businesses.​

​

... That's because companies that buy products made abroad pay the tariffs imposed on them — and, as a result, face higher costs that are typically passed on to consumers. Trump has argued that his new duties will bring manufacturing and money back to the U.S. But since so much of what we buy today relies on a global supply chain, economists have long-warned that such sweeping tariffs will mean more expensive prices from the grocery aisle to the auto repair shop.​

Whatever you need to blame past administrations for does not escape the current plight.

You were blaming Trump first term with Joe. Trump had things going good even with the deep state Progs and some Republicans thwarting him. Covid derailed that. And Progs suffocated the economy with their draconian dictums.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yes they are. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

You are lying again. I am not disappointed. It's what I expect from you.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Another lost, uniformed soul.

Indeed, yes, you are. Higher prices are coming.

 

[Blaster]

I don't lie.

Best jobs creation ever. Historically low UE rate. 2.4 core inflation going out of office. You just need to shut up.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yes, that's the past. Trump has leveraged our future for high prices.

 

[Blaster]

False.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

False.

Are the tariffs in the room with you now\? Like right now?

Don't give up. Being able to handle the truth may be difficult for you, but irrefutable empirical data is readily available.

SweetTea needs no stinking "irrefutable data."

 

[Zincwarrior]

We all will pay 10 to 15% more Christmas this year.

Not me. I pre-emptively told the kids I was going to have to let them ago due to budget cutbacks.

 

[SweetTea]

Indeed, yes, you are. Higher prices are coming.

Again, nothing scares me after 2022.

I guess you missed all the job revisions and the fact that we were coming out of covid. Also, he hired a lot of government workers. Sorry it was terrible. In his foreign policy was off the charts bad.

I can hardly wait to tell you idiots I told you so...again.
