Why are you so angry? You aren't espousing the manners of a gentleman and it weakens your argument. I urge you to reflect on your attitude and consider taking an anger management class at a locale near you that offers such services.
Angry? Not at all. I’m quite amused at your ramblings that are demonstrably false nearly 100% of the time.
I urge you to realize you’re in a cult and it’s not going to end well. Your blob admitted he lost today...after 4 years of your insistence that he didn’t, your orange god just pulled the rug out from under you.
No.

Nope but Trump did and will do it again
No.
These tariffs have been applied for years now. The foreign produced goods should, by now, cost 2-4 times how much the domestically produced products.
Why don’t they?
Because the American retailers and suppliers have just raised their prices too to take advantage.
Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation
Kroger's senior director for pricing Andy Groff said the grocery giant had raised prices for eggs and milk beyond inflation levels.
So, if the cost of goods sold, goes up, the seller would take in on the chin, drastically cutting gross profit margin on all imported items, regardless of business model, fixed cost, etc, simply out of the goodness of his heart? BS.
Tariffs in the Trump administration - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
Trump imposed tariffs on 18% of all products as of 2020.
That increases prices
That adds to inflation
But as you note… they cost the consumer
Why?
If they face competition, of course. I was in my MBA if it matters. You are the one who has been duped. the prices of producing prodicts went down significantly when manufacturers shipped their jobs overseas. Yet, have you ever seen a big price decrease as a consumer? In theory, if they make a car in Mexico or China, the price of the prodict should go down,.right? it didnt, they just increased their margins. Well now, the tarriff they pay may provide opportunity for the local manufacturer to have a level playing field for some of the slave labor wages and lack of environmental rules their competitiors.enjoy in communist China for instance. Its not ideal, but what other tools.do you have to.reign in China? It will.also allow the U.S to negotiate harder with China to demand thst they consume U.S products. There is a reason Biden didnt lift tariffs.
Because being dependent on communist china can be fatal to our economic freedom and security
The tariffs also triggered the extended American manufacturing recession in 2019.
