Who will Trump blame it on if tariffs don't work as planned?

Answer (1 of 62): Depends on what's the plan.Tariff war is specifically against China and is politically motivated to reduce its global domination. Biden had ample time and opportunity to reduce tariffs against China imposed during 2018. But he did not… because he could not. Tensions with China ...

Sure, if trump says so, you KNOW it's a LIE.

1). Prices WAY DOWN......no, that's a LIE, and when prices continue to rise, who will trump Blame?
2). Windmills, are you still beating this failed notion?.......LOLLLOLL.....Windmills....Dear Lord
3). Energy Prices Falling Big Time......Hardly.....and when prices continue to rise, who will trump Blame?
4). Gasoline at many years Low....No, it's currently HIGHER than when trump took office.
5). Tariffs Bringing in Trillions........it's a TAX on the American Consumer. Bravo for LESS Government.

Who will trump and his cult blame........ Stay Tuned.

Trump better NOT bail out the farmers with his failed tariffs, like he did in term 1.
I feel terrible for the farmers, but they did VOTE for this.
Sorry Farmers.......Stay Tuned.

Why the Variation in Figures?​

Different sources use different methods and data:

Source	Avg Gas Price	Date	Notes
AAA	$3.188	Aug 31, 2025	Daily retail-based reporting
EIA	$3.147	Week ending Aug 25, 2025	Official government data, weekly averages
YCharts	$3.272	Week of Aug 25, 2025	Broad "all grades/all formulations" average
Finder	$3.20	Week of Aug 28, 2025	Weekly average across various data sources

These discrepancies come from differing scopes (like types of fuel), reporting frequencies (daily vs. weekly), and methodologies.

Bird Deaths: LOLLOLLLOL.....Dear Lord.....What fools actually believe trump?........Durrrrr.

• Bird Mortality Estimates
  
  • Widely quoted claim of 750,000 bird deaths/year by wind turbines is overstated; scientific estimates range 20,000–573,000 TIME.
  • In context, cats kill around 2.4 billion birds/year, building collisions kill about 600 million, while land-based turbines account for ~200,000 annual bird deaths Statista.

Wind Turbines in the USA – A Comprehensive Overview​

• Installed Capacity & Growth
  
  • As of September 2019, the U.S. had over 100 GW of installed wind capacity, supplying nearly 7% of U.S. electricity Wikipedia.
  • Leading states: Texas (~27 GW), Iowa (~9 GW), and Oklahoma (~8 GW) Wikipedia.
• Notable Wind Farms
  
  • Altamont Pass (California): One of the earliest and densest, with ~~4,930 small turbines, ~576 MW capacity**, producing around 1.1 TWh/year Wikipedia.
  • Blue Creek Wind Farm (Ohio): ~304 MW capacity producing ~797 GWh/year, enough for ~76,000 homes; significant local economic impact via jobs and tax revenue Wikipedia.
• Economic and Regional Benefits
  
  • Wind capacity has grown tremendously since the 1990s, especially in plains and rural areas Carbon BriefWikipedia.
  • Counties installing wind saw per-capita income rise ~5% and GDP ~6.5%, with home values increasing ~2.6% in rural areas Carbon Brief.

Did the US have tariffs under Biden?

Yes, the US had tariffs under the Biden administration (January 20, 2021–January 20, 2025). The administration largely maintained the tariffs imposed during the Trump administration, particularly on Chinese imports, and introduced additional targeted tariffs.Here’s a summary based on available information:

• Retention of Trump-Era Tariffs: Biden kept most of the tariffs from Trump’s first term, including those on Chinese goods under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which covered roughly $335 billion of imports at an average rate of 19.3% in February 2020, rising to around 20% by 2021. These tariffs targeted goods like steel, aluminum, and various consumer products, generating about $175 billion in customs duties during Biden’s term, compared to $89 billion under Trump.
  
  
• New Tariff Increases: In May 2024, Biden announced hikes on $18 billion of Chinese imports, effective September 27, 2024, targeting strategic sectors like electric vehicles (100%), solar cells (50%), and batteries, steel, aluminum, and medical goods (25%). Further increases on solar wafers, polysilicon, and tungsten products (50% and 25%) took effect January 1, 2025. These aimed to counter China’s unfair trade practices, such as intellectual property theft and overcapacity.

Difference is.....that trumps flip flopping has caused WW nations to question what trump is doing.

We are talking about trumps current tariff WAR.

How will it affect the following:

1) the prices of all the items mentioned above. Maybe trump is correct. This is just for reference, so that you can't manipulate the prices at a later date. If the Prices above are wrong, please counter with you own alternative data.....LOLLOLL

2). Inflation....yet to be seen. Dear Lord, I hope this tariff thing doesn't increase inflation.
Time will tell, you have to agree with that.....right?

Can you post some inflation data, IF I post it, the cult will call it FAKE NEWS.
