Trump scraps tariffs on beef, coffee and tropical fruit in a push to lower grocery store prices

as if that's all it took to lower prices. companies are gonna look at this as 'free profit' and keep them high, pocketing the 'savings' for as long as they can.

Can't be, he's been exclaiming how groceries were already lowered.

Weird, I was assuming that adding tariffs on coffee would magically create plantations of coffee in Wyoming

I mean, let's just sit back and observe the stupidly obvious fact that Trump is lowering tariffs to lower grocery store prices, which necessarily confirms Trump knows that creating tariffs raised the grocery store prices, despite that he has said the exact opposite.

So tell me, mainstream media: Did we do it? Did we catch Trump in a lie so logically incontestable that your reporters would feel empowered to finally report it as a "lie"?

...sigh.

Who'd have thought... the recomendations for how to lower prices... were, to stop doing those things everyone told him would raise prices and he swore up and down wouldn't.

This guy fucks everything up, then wants us to praise him for unfucking one or two things he himself fucked up.

Yeah except the damage is already done. The issue is every time he does this shit the countries that aren't able to import to America go elsewhere and start up in those countries. If they already established why the fuck would they come back and risk the loss again off the tariff rug pull? It's not only logical it's a better business move to just stick where you are where the market is going to be stable. This is what happened to the soy farmers.

The Art of the TACO.

Lol. The prices arent gonna go down. They just might not keep going up.

Trump causes problems then causes more by trying to fix them.

I'm sure the Argentinean cattle ranchers appreciate his efforts.

Hey dipshit MAGA subhumans, guess what? ::: spoiler spoiler They ain't going to lower the prices. They're going to pocket the difference because people are already paying it. You did this. Have a merry Christmas you cockroach filth covered animals. :::

Oh so the tariffs aren't making us rich?

But I thought that's what he and his dickheads in charge said!

Oh well, I am positive all his supporters will find a way to pin this on Biden and the radical liberal left I keep hearing so much about. They just gotta wait for Fox News to tell them how to feel first.

But, he said the tariffs would just naturally lower the cost of everything, all by themselves. And there's just no way he would lie about something like that. /s

TACO!

Shame that trading partners are already all adapting away from the unstable and untrustworthy tRump regime, who the fuck wants to rely on trade with someone who can completely change their spongy dementia addled mind at the slightest perceived offense or even imagined ones, or their mood that day... or the weather... Honestly, this will not have the desired outcome for Americans because tRump poisoned the well already with his self-serving, corrupt horseshit.

He wasn't lying when he said the tariffs were great for 'us', he just wasn't talking about the same 'us' the public thinks he is. He's talking about himself and a few oligarch business associates who are cannibalizing the country with his gleeful permission. It's not that he's too dumb to see they're playing him, it's that he DOESN'T CARE about America, at all. Perhaps he even hates America for being rejected by the elite for decades on end. He's a bitter, wrathful, closeted gay diva, and he is only happy when you personally are suffering. It's the disappointment of the millennium that so many American people are blind to this, or willfully ignorant because they still somehow buy the lie that it could be them getting into the club and being one of the rich and powerful who can do anything they want and not have to care about their peers.

Don't quit your job, save your money, and buy raw ingredients so you can cook your own food, cause the damage he's done to trade is not going to fade fast enough for bullshit gestures like putting out the fire he started himself to have an impact that favours working Americans. Stay strong, and find ways to get his shit-encrusted and rotting carcass out of office before a complete collapse is upon you and the entire world suffers. That goes for the criminally liable enablers calling themselves the republican party, too. Don't forget corporate plants in the Democratic party.

Remember when grocery store prices wouldn't decline after covid and the Biden administration started investigating grocery chains?

Well, fat fucking chance of prices dropping even if the tariffs disappear.

The Amazon Prime Day strategy. Increase prices for a while then reduce the prices to “slightly higher than they were originally” and claim you’re doing a favor.

Clearly trump knows what he is doing, he is after all the smartest, bestest person ever born.

So this means prices are going to go down, right? Right? And not that corporations will just keep the pricing and increase their profit.

Thwts so you dont talk about his love for Democate sausage

Is he still president? After he broke all these laws, and helped a Nazi kill all these people? You guys gotta vote!

Masterful gambit, sir.
