You're an idiot. Please explain to us how you personally are benefiting from this. Maybe you are. Maybe you own a American business and now everyone is buying from you instead of their foreign supplier. Is that the case? Or maybe your American company gave you a raise because of this. It's possible. But the vast majority of us are just paying more and we've seen no positives to what Trump's doing.

In fact we haven't even been hit with the price increases yet. I charged my customers 8.5% all of July and now it's 10% tariffs in August. In November they are just going to raise their prices 10%.

Are you stupid?
Let more know how much your sales drop. My stocks are making a fortune. Energy and food costs are down. Democrats credibility is destroyed. Works for me

Stupid as a fox
 
Biden caused the inflation with massive debt based spending and poor energy policies. It hasnt gone up its still in decline even with the tariffs. After creating 5 business I learned a little.
Manufactures must sell t stay in business. Buyers dont have to buy. This gives them leverage. By refusing to pay a high prices sellers are forced to lower them.
In addition China devalued its money to offset the tariffs. The result food and energy prices are down. Low energy costs lower all prices. Wages are up. So wheres the problem?
In 4 years tariffs will raise over 1 trillion. The DODG curs will save 1 trillion a year. The deficit is 1.6 trillion. No more deficit.
Us Americans kept buying throughout the pandemic. Even when prices went up, we kept buying.

And I haven't had one customer say "cancel the order" because of the 10% tariff.

Trump gave us all a stimulus too remember. You imagine Trump would have gotten out of the covid recession differently? I'm sure he would have done some things differently sure but a lot of what Biden did helped many many people get through the pandemic. And we got a lot of infrastructure rebuilt.

I'm not going to argue with you. You clearly toe the MAGA line. You'll swallow any spin they tell you.

If 4 years Trump will spend 10 trillion. The tariffs should go to the debt and social security. Not Trump's pocket. He's spending like a drunken sailor. New White House Ballroom for $200 million? Who asked for that?

And when Trump 2.0 blows up in our faces you'll blame Democrats. Watch and see

Facts prices are down food and energy costs down, oil is down, wages are up, inflation coming down, at the same time tariffs are up. So where is the problem?

The tariffs will pay off the deficit in 4 years.
They will bring manufacturing back to America'
Create more jobs middle class jobs.
Drive up the DOW creating millionaires
In addition Trump has cut taxes and regulations, stopped green energy supports and has switched to nuclear and fissil fuels that are low cost and reliable. As dumb Europe keeps building green energy manufacturers will be forecd to come to America because green energy can meet the demand for AI.
America wins Trump wins and democrats get their noses rubbed in failure

Facts prices are going up specifically because of Trump's actions. You think jobs are coming home. Wages are up when no one is hiring? Weird.

Do you know the difference between the debt and deficit? You claim we will have a budget surplus in 4 years? Can you show me this projected surplus? That's what Bill Clinton did.

Don't forget Bush squandered Clinton's surplus just like Trump squandered Elon's DOGE savings.

Now we are going nuclear? Where are you hearing this shit?

What I love is that your plan is going to pay off in 4 years. That's so typical of you guys. Trust you. In 4 years things will be great again.

Hell, in your eyes things are already great. Easily pleased I guess. As long as a right winger is the one giving you 2-3% gdp.

Nothing you claim has happened maybe you need to clean your crystal ball.

Clinton never gave us a surplus The GOP took over the government in Clintons second term and they balanced the budget cut taxes and reformed welfare. Clinton was busy exposing h9mself to Paula Jones

I stated the deficit is 1.6 trillion. Thats pretty clear isnt it. Do the math. DODG cuts will be 1 trillion a year. Tariffs at the current rate will bring in over 1 trillion a year. By By defict.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Grocery prices saw their largest decline in nearly five years.
  • Gas prices fell for the third month in a row.
  • Egg prices saw the largest one-month decline in more than four decades.
  • Workers’ real wages are up 1.9%, increasing each of the last three months.
  • Prices for airfare, energy, hotels, and used vehicles are all down compared to last year.
Here’s what they’re saying:

  • Bloomberg’s Augusta Saraiva: “US inflation rose by less than forecast in April amid tame prices for clothing and new cars, suggesting little urgency so far by companies to pass along the cost of higher tariffs to consumers.”
  • Investopedia Editor-in-Chief Caleb Silver: “The smoke was much worse than the fire … A big part of that was the drop in gasoline prices. This is very significant for households … That drop in gasoline and energy prices — a big deal.”
  • Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo: “Oil is down, eggs are down, food is down. We’re seeing that reflected, so all that hysteria over tariffs is not showing up in these numbers.”
  • USA TODAY: Inflation eased to 4-year low in April as Trump’s tariffs took effect, CPI report shows
    • “Prices for groceries, including eggs, used cars and airfares all fell sharply.”
  • Bloomberg: US Consumer Prices Rose Less Than Expected in April
    • “The pace is the slowest since the sprinsg of 2021 when inflation broke out in earnest.”
    • “Grocery prices were down 0.4% on the month, and eggs fell 12.7%, the most since 1984, validating some of President Donald Trump’s messaging.”
  • NBC News: April consumer price index report shows inflation dropped to slowest pace since 2021
 
Interesting you would use the word Rubbish. Yesterday I compared Trump's tariffs to the Boston Tea Party. Funny you MAGA patriots don't mind an undue tax on EVERYTHING you buy as long as it comes from your American king.

The term "rubbish" is used more frequently in British English
You did compare the two and I showed you why your comparison was bogus. Did you miss that?

Try breathing into a paper bag for a minute or so. You’ll be okay. :itsok:
 
Kings dont pass "duly passed laws" they impose tyranny by edict a concept rejected by American morals and law. The article is easily destroyed with a little common sense.
It has no truth and supports the American constitution that states "When a government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it." Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

If you love their article you had poor education
People like you are so confused about the British colonial era in North America it is difficult for any knowledgeable person to even think of where to start when attempting to engage you. Maybe if we had a time machine that could bring you back to Junior High School and what was once called "Civics Class?"
 
Failure of education in the USA

Lack of an intelligent response noted and surrender accepted God save the king
 
I thought it was about not wanting to pay for the French-Indian War.

I went to see that boat,btw. It was tiny. A lot of fuss about nothing.
There weren't as many Americans back then. How many ships like that do you think England sent to America? Thousands?

  • English commercial shipping grew substantially throughout the colonial period, particularly after the mid-17th century and the implementation of the Navigation Acts.
  • Emphasis on Navigation Acts: The Navigation Acts, starting in 1651, aimed to boost English shipping and trade. They restricted trade with foreign countries and required English ships and crews for colonial trade.
Sound familiar?
 
Oh, in today's lexicon, it most certainly was terrorism as well as sedition and insurrection, and if today's democrats were around back then, they would have been reporting the people who did it to the British authorities, demanding their immediate executions, the seizure of all their property, and their families driven into the streets so the democrats could harass and physically force them from the area. In short, today's democrats are the British Loyalists of the Revolutionary era. Certainly not the patriots.
In today’s lexicon it was a protest and maybe destruction of property.

It was not terrorism by any meaningful reliance on what that word actually means.

But I do see your point.

Here is why we know you are a cherry picking liar.

We know since Trump's crackdown on illegals, Farmers have had a very hard time finding workers.

And we know the inability to find adequate help significantly impacts food production, farm income, and farmer well-being, leading to increased costs, and reduced output. Farmers struggling to find labor may face reduced harvests, leading to higher food prices and potentially harming the overall food supply chain.

Now, what is Trump going to do about this? He says he's not going to raid farms. So in other words, some illegals are okay in America. This means the problem isn't going to go away. Regardless, the prices of farm goods is going up.

You can't deny this fact. So please tell me how inflation is coming down. Or how prices are coming down. How is that possible?

And by the way, inflation is coming down because the Feds raised interest rates. Trump wants them to lower interest rates. So don't be stupid and give Trump credit. Makes you seem, well, stupid af.

Farm workers have not been deported and we can easily allow them work permits so they are not illegal but food prices have declined so your point makes no sense. The largest factor in food costs is fuel. Trump has cut that.

Inflation is down because democrats are no longer running the country and spending massive amounts of debt and driving up energy costs.

Trump wins and everything gets better

It's funny Trump has given no details but you seem to already know. You don't. Trump's going to allow illegals to keep coming because this keeps prices down.

Until just a day ago I was paying $3.29 a gallon. That is higher than what I was paying under Biden. Probably the Iran war Trump started caused prices to stay high.

Yes Trump is going to turn a blind eye to illegals who work at farms, hotels and restaurants. We know. We told you he was just playing wack a mole to make you racists happy. Did you hear his racist comments yesterday? Mexicans are built for farm work and inner city people are too lazy to do it? Wow!

while his supporters consider the potential amnesty for migrant laborers as a reversal from Trump’s staunch deportation policy.

The president's comments drew praise from Arizona agriculture and hospitality leaders, who have long complained about chronic labor shortages and the need for Congress to pass immigration reforms that would allow more immigrants to enter the country legally, rather than illegally, to fill jobs many Americans are unwilling to do.

Trump posted on Truth Social on June 12 that farmers and people in the hospitality and leisure industries have said that "our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace."

Trump said during a news conference later in the day that an order is coming that would help farmers and the hotel and leisure industry hold onto their workers, without providing specifics.

"We're going to have an order on that pretty soon I think we can't do that to our farmers and leisure too hotels. We're gonna have to use a lot of common sense on that," Trump said.

What you are saying doesn't make any sense. We know that farmers haven't been able to find enough workers and we know this raises prices. So how are prices coming down? Please explain this to me. Is this like Trump telling us he's going to lower drug prices 500%?

Yes, produce prices are generally expected to increase. A recent analysis suggests that fresh produce prices will rise by 5.4% due to the impact of tariffs. This is why Trump suddenly is okay with illegals so long as they only work at farms and hotels.

Overall, consumers should expect to see some increases in produce prices due to ongoing economic factors.

Grocery prices have been on the rise for most of the past five years, as supply chain bottlenecks, the war in Ukraine and excessive profit-taking here in America have put a strain on consumers' wallets. Trump campaigned heavily on the price of food in 2024, promising that if elected he would lower costs.

Instead his policies have increased prices. Now he's going to go back on his word and let illegals continue to come in in order to lower prices? So he has to break one campaign promise to fulfill another?

The all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of economy-wide inflation, increased 0.3 percent from May 2025 to June 2025 and was up 2.7 percent from June 2024.

Food prices rose at about the same rate as overall inflation. The CPI for all food increased 0.3 percent from May 2025 to June 2025. Food prices in June 2025 were 3.0 percent higher than in June 2024.

  • The food-at-home (grocery store or supermarket food purchases) CPI increased 0.2 percent from May 2025 to June 2025 and was 2.4 percent higher than in June 2024.
  • The food-away-from-home (restaurant and other foodservice purchases) CPI increased 0.4 percent from May 2025 to June 2025 and was 3.8 percent higher than in June 2024.
