Tariff-fueled price hikes have arrived -- and hitting these items first

“For much of 2025, the Trump administration's wide-ranging tariffs defied forecasts that the import duties would drive up inflation. But that reprieve appears to be over, with economic data this week showing the tariffs are now pushing prices higher.

The Consumer Price Index in August rose at a rate of 2.9% from a year ago, accelerating from the previous month as President Trump's tariffs filtered through the economy. Heavily imported goods saw some of the steepest price hikes last month, the data show. The increase represents the fastest rate of inflation since January, when Mr. Trump was inaugurated for his second term.

Facing the prospect of sharply higher tariffs, some American companies scrambled to stock up on the imported goods and parts they use in their business, postponing the need to raise customer prices. Others absorbed the levies instead of passing them along to consumers.

Do you have ANY proof that this is the case or did FOX/Trump tell you this lie? Free trade deals and trading blocks is what works in other countries.

Ronald Reagan was the guy who started the NAFTA negotiations. Who encouraged “off shoring” which raised profits for corporate America.

Actually, since inflation is at 3% and a couple of select items are skyrocketing, everything else must be coming down.

Of course I have proof. Tell me oh ignorant one, why are so many countries crying their eyes out when Trump places tariffs on them that are greater than or equal to their own. Virtually every country in the have tariffs on us, they wanted their cake and eat it too, now they know what a level playing field looks like.
