"Wow, he raised the prices of everything after he campaigned on lowering prices! I love you, Mr. Trump!!"
"Wow, he's lowering the cost of coffee to a bit higher than it was before he raised the prices of everything! I love you, Mr. Trump!! You're going all-in on affordability!"
"Wow, the price of coffee is still as high as it was before he signed a bill because American companies realized that Americans will pay the higher price for them! What a brilliant victory for Mr. Trump!!"
It's possible a significant portion of Republicans are closeted and repressed sado-masochists that keep having political outbursts in lieu of expressing themselves in a more appropriate environment.
Perhaps, but I'm sold on the fact that he's just that stupid. I have a coworker that is a NY Trumper that seriously believed what they were told by the admin about tariffs: that the businesses overseas should pay those, not consumers. I really believe Trump thought that. He's a cave man.
That's a fair point. I do favor the hypothesis that he's only successful as a scam artist, making him effectively a ouija-board planchette controlled by his entourage who are all controlled by billionaires, think tanks, and foreign states.
I think half of america thinks its impossible to be worth millions/billions of dollars and be completely stupid. We are surrounded by absurdly rich imbeciles.
Turns out that now that he is older his libido is down. This means less women and children are getting raped. We should applaud him for this reduction!
Nope, they'll still be $200. Suppliers would be idiots to lower prices, it's free normalized margin now and insurance in case Trump puts the tariff back again.
I agree with your assessment of what will happen with prices.
I should clarify that I meant he forcibly extracted a value from his victims that's at least an order of magnitude greater than anything he's offered in return, making it a symbolic gesture at best, and too little, too late.
Well it's not wage growth proportional to GDP growth, but I do like guava--probably not more than housing, medicine, education and civil rights, but we can't have everything, now can we?
Sad part is its effective. People will be so happy that you were there to take care of them, they will forget you were the one that hurt them in the first place.
People who abuse others that way are actually evil.
Meet Eric, Eric has the brain of fruit fly, Eric quotes Charlie Kirk for "inspiration", don't be like Eric, read a book instead and keep your idiotic opinions to your self, help make the world a better place
Not even hyperbole. Education tends to make people more left, so the right systematically destroyed it in red states. They don't care that people make worse choices into heir lives, they just want to stay in power.
Donald Trump cold rape a child on daytime tv and then shoot it in the face. The next day he'll ban guns to protect children and Americans would cheer him on
“..and 1/3rd of Americans would cheer him on.” While another 1/6 would ignore it or try to blame it on the libs. The centrists would shrug and say “both sides…” The people on the left would be outraged, and Schumer would OK replacing the bloodstained carpet after a few weeks of ineffective negotiating.
This is more accurate. Don't forget the part about hundreds of members of congress waiting for the guns to be destroyed before buying up arms manufacturer stocks and voting to overturn the ban. I think that's how that would go.
Stop hitting yourself! Ah, do you see how my hands, which have been tightly wrapped around your wrists this whole time, are currently not making you hit yourself? You're welcome.
Yeah, I can't wait to hear how deep that conspiracy goes. We have receipts that show current prices. Hundreds of witnesses have seen and attested to the fact that he enacted the Tariffs. It was recorded, broadcast and he bragged about it. Yet still, somehow only the Democrats knew the prices would go up and they're somehow responsible. It could be as simple as AOC using her communist powers to get all sellers to coordinate a price-fixing scheme. Personally, I hope it's more of a Manchurian Candidate situation and Mamdani hypnotized him with his leftist Muslim powers.
As a Canadian rancher/farmer, I listen to US cattle podcasters and commenters and laugh my fucking ass off. They're fucking livid. It's true face-eating leopard time.
Tyson is closing a major meat processing plant in Nebraska, so prices should stay high because of the artificial bottleneck in the supply chain. Profits however will increase because of lower tariffs
Yeah, same old story. Coolidge and Hoover worked so hard to get inflation down. Hoover had it down to -10% by 1933, but then fascist FDR hoodwinked the American people and cherry-picked that perfect economy! He jacked inflation up to over 12% by 1942! Some other stuff happened, too, as I recall, but that inflation, though! I guess some things never change.
Prices aren’t coming down because record profits and shareholders. The only thing that will bring prices down in this godforsaken dystopia is guillotines
The serial stabber telling you he’ll stop stabbing a couple specific body parts. They expect praise for their benevolence. Praise them, you common chattel.

t: “I am adding tariffs to the foods you sell.”
Seller: “we will raise our prices to cover the cost of the tariffs.”
Customers: “we can’t afford the foods and won’t buy as much.”
t: “I am removing the tariffs I added earlier. Now you can lower prices.”
Customer: “yeah. Lower your prices now.”
Seller: “…no.”
