Hapy, happy, happy, completely overrides a slight increase in a can of beans....If that is even the case.

Better than this time last year under FJB, that's for damn sure.

The Retail Inflation Rate Stood At 5.1 Percent In January 2024.​

Consumers are beginning to poop their collective shorts as consumer confidence in Trump drops because of the economy.

"The president’s brief honeymoon with the public appears to be over already for American consumers, according to the latest polls.

See-sawing tariff threats, a jittery stock market and turmoil on Capitol Hill are suddenly causing Americans on both sides of the fence to feel “considerably more pessimistic about the economy” than they were when Donald Trump moved into the White House, The Wall Street Journal noted Friday.


Consumer sentiment dropped close to 5 percent in the University of Michigan’s preliminary February survey to its lowest reading since July 2024 when Trump was raging about the U.S. economy.

The decrease was pervasive, with Republicans, Independents, and Democrats all posting sentiment declines from January, along with consumers across age and wealth groups,” Joanne Hsu, who supervises the survey, said in a statement."

With you guys it's never more than Trump wants to do this, will do that, might do this, would like to do that. Monday will come and go the same.

He is acting on tariffs. We will sell. You are so weak on this, but you have a weak hand to play, because you are playing the orange-hole's weak hand.

There are no tariffs, other than on China. Why do you lie?

Which countries have tariffs imposed on them by the US?

The United States has imposed tariffs on several countries. Some of the notable ones include:

1. China: Tariffs have been imposed on a wide range of Chinese goods, including electronics, machinery, and textiles.
2. Mexico: Tariffs have been placed on various goods, particularly in response to immigration and trade disputes.
3. Canada: Similar to Mexico, tariffs have been imposed on certain goods due to trade disagreements.
4. European Union: Tariffs have been placed on steel and aluminum imports from the EU.
5. India: High tariff rates on certain goods have led to reciprocal tariffs from the US.
6. Vietnam: Tariffs have been imposed due to trade barriers and high tariff rates on US goods.
7. Brazil: Tariffs have been placed on goods due to trade barriers and high tariff rates on US exports.

These tariffs are part of the US's broader strategy to address trade imbalances and protect domestic industries.

Looks like the threat of tariffs on Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Venezuela and Panama were quite effective. Maybe you should start paying attention, donkey.

You should welcome the tariffs. Because of them, we will no longer have to pay income taxes.

---Trump floated an “all tariff policy,” which he said would allow the U.S. to eliminate income tax---
