Study Shows Tariffs Paid Almost Exclusively By American Consumers

[berg80]

Tariffs are a cudgel to punish his opponents… and WE pay for it

They can't accept that. It would mean trump's key economic policy is not only being used as retribution but it's based on his misunderstanding of who pays for tariffs. Meaning it's a repudiation of him..........and those who voted for him. The Following is not prepared to go there. Not yet. Maybe never.

Really?

Because a lot of people are hurting

Prices have NOT come down

Wages are up, we just git the biggest tax cut in history, rents are down 2 interest rate cuts, inflation slowing gas under 3 dollars, DOW at record highs all that means the middle class has more money. You must live in a democrat city

NEW DATA: Lower Prices, Bigger Paychecks

President Donald J. Trump’s bold economic agenda is delivering real results for American families — with new data from DoorDash’s State of Local Commerce

www.whitehouse.gov

President Trump has tamed inflation.​

• The Breakfast Basics Index — which measures the price of three eggs, a glass of milk, a bagel, and an avocado — decreased 14% between March and September and 1.7% over the past year.
• The Everyday Essentials Index — which measures the price of toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper, laundry detergent, pain medicine, and diapers — fell over the past year.

Americans are beginning to see price declines.​

• Over the past year, prices actually declined for cheese, cereals & bars, fresh fruits, frozen meals, packaged meals, condiments, batteries, computers & accessories, phones & accessories, medicines, oral care, vitamins & supplements, outdoor products, and toys & games.

President Trump’s policies are fueling wage growth.​

• Nationally, wage growth is outpacing restaurant price increases — including at the city level in half of the cities studied.

Local economies are resilient.​

• 56% of consumers say they’ve seen fewer businesses close in their communities over the past year.
• Overall food spend has increased by nearly 5% over last year — faster than prices have risen, suggesting “consumers are buying more from businesses in their communities.”

We all have more money now

And it only took one year to undo most of the the damage Biden/Harris inflicted on America.

I think the left is right: Donald Trump truly is the "King" of America.

Why Didn’t You See a Price Hike?

Because your eyes are wide shut.

At some point, when he’s gone in disgrace like Bush the Lesser… you’ll be hard pressed to find Republicans who will admit they supported him… or brill someone else comes along just like him and then Trump will be a hero again… just like they “found” neoconism again

You must be talking about Biden, a disaster and a disgrace no matter how you look at his record.
We Republicans found "populism", not "neoconism".
Trump's policies are still more popular than democrat policies.

So if Trump gets Greenland, Panama, or Cuba without firing a shot, are you going to complain?

Neocons like wars so their "MIC" stocks appreciate. We're not neocons.
