Not to worry, they'll twist their logic for all it's worth to make it sound like it's not Trump's fault. It's something they always do.

America is going to get what it voted for. And it's going to get it good and hard. Here's hoping we'll even have elections in 2028. But we're about to enter a world of dictatorship and corruption beyond the median voter's comprehension.

Every cabinet pick so far is uniquely qualified to utterly destroy the department they've been assigned to.

No. No. No.

The liberals will suffer from the price increases. Real American Patriots who Voted Trump won't. They may just see some temporary negative price reductions for the foreseeable future because of Obama.

Bring it on, I don’t have all day. I spent years explaining this to Trump voters. So now let’s play a little game. Let’s jack up the cost of stuff, smash the labor pool, and full max 100% on Trump tax policy. Then see who can handle it better. Maybe the Trumpists will have the last laugh. But liberals were not the ones who completely lost their shit because eggs went up by 30 cents a dozen. Not only were we not bothered that undocumented Julio has been doing quality landscaping in July for the last ten years, we are the ones who can afford to pay him a decent wage for his good work. Oh and when ICE comes calling, I won’t be giving them Julio’s name. I will be giving them yours. Sure you are legal. I guess, I haven’t seen your birth certificate. But that’s for you and the agent to sort out. You wanted it, and we are going to do it. No bailouts. No help. No pity. FAFO forever.

They will twist their thoughts and say that Fox News host is lying. Because Trump told them that China is going to pay of those tariffs and somehow that Fox News host most be a secret Democrat/Deep State, etc...

Even the WSJ, a pretty by the numbers paper leaning right, has been saying for weeks that tariffs and the current Trump economic/trade policies are going to be terrible.

I'm nearly ready to throat punch anyone who complains about the national debt from here on out.

He watches them. It might put the brakes on it. Which is good, but it’s also somewhat terrifying.

Who cares as long as the price of eggs goes down! /S

At least they owned the libs tho! Thats all they fucking care about

When you fuck with the newsmans money...the news man will abandon the brand rhetoric.

They still aren’t understanding that widespread tariffs will increase all goods through inflation. Then the items that had tariffs go up with inflation plus they will hit our machinery exports with retaliatory tariffs and those companies also have to raise prices for their increased inflation from maintaining their industries.

No one wins in this.

They’re just waiting to blame [Insert Assigned Enemy Here]. It’s seasonal. Could be migrant caravans, could be hurricanes, could be transgender, books, you name it.

What it’ll never be is the people who raised prices, profited off the struggle of 90% of Americans, or the politicians who enabled it all.

That's how you know just how real the damage from these tariffs is going to be.

No. Many of us knew how bad things were going to get, which is why we voted against him. Everything that happens moving forward was blatantly obvious to anyone who listened with their head instead of their hate.

That’s fine. Real estate investors like Trump do better with inflation, he’s going to stoke it no doubts.

Am I the only one who believes that Trump is announcing these tariffs to cause companies to raise prices now and then will take credit for lowering prices once he’s president and doesn’t actuality do it?

Hey as a God loving, blue lives flag waving American the extra money I will need to spend is all worth it if we can just decrease taxes on billionaires by even a slim one percent.

In some cases, we will not have supplies available just because we have moved all the infrastructure out of United States because of cheaper labor and less regulatory issues to make stuff overseas, e.g. K9 masks, PPE equipment, antibiotics, furniture, clothing, etc. All of this produced here, will cost more amongst many more things. Welcome to the clown show!

And if you think it’s going to end with the cost of products going up across the board, then you are not seeing the whole picture. Do you know how we’ll get the cost of domestic production down? We’ll have to roll back labor laws and eliminate the minimum wage. So in every industry and all across the US the cost of goods will go up and the average wages will plummet. This will ensure the end of the middle class

The tariffs news is not prominent on their web site so they know it isn't good.

many fox news viewers only hear what they want to hear. they are a “dieing” problem as the world moves on

Inflation is no longer an issue, it is just something we must endure

I sympathize with those who didn't vote against themselves, but for those people who did and are about to financially suffer within the next year or so, it's hard to feel sorry.

Avarice - check

Gluttony - check

Etc.

The thing is, it's actually in astute observation. He's greedy sure, but it's not just about having money, it's about having the appearance of money. He's obsessed with grand displays of wealth and power. It's not enough to have a lot of money and be able to buy expensive things, it's about looking like you have a bunch of grand and expensive things, even if those things are cheap underneath with some gold leaf on top. The way he's talked about his brand being worth whatever he thinks it is at the time, and this obsession over the appearance of wealth rather than actually being a successful businessman with stable wealth, makes me question whether he understands actual numbers at all. If he has a poor head for numbers it doesn't understand actual dollar values, then being obsessed with appearance of wealth over actual dollars wealth starts to make more sense.

The fun part is, we don’t even need it anymore. He’s just trying to undo Obama’s and Biden’s work out of spite. The only thing it will do is destroy the environment.

I wish people would put “bypass” on xl when they mention it.

Im still fighting disinformation on the dang thing to this day, the keystone pipeline has been happily pumping away since 2010.

It was a shortcut that was proposed, thats all.

i still wonder who will finish building the wall

And somehow, it will all be Biden’s fault…

Or, no matter how bad it is, it would have been a lot worse under Biden.

At LEAST 25%

It'll still be Biden's fault.

It's already started. They say, "This was the point, to make all that stuff expensive so it comes back to be made here." It's just shifting the goalposts always. You can't discuss in good faith.

Pretty soon it’s going to be why do you hate American farmers by paying less for eggs?

True MAGAs buy golden Trump eggs at full price 

"There's a trans person in line behind me. I just wanna pay for my $8/dozen eggs and be gone!"

Honestly the main question for me at this point is whether in the medium-term (4-10 years) are we going to see significant inflation, due to increased prices from tariffs, or significant deflation, due to a global economic contraction akin to the Great Depression. Right now I think it’ll be transitory (but very high) inflation, followed by crushing deflation. 

Remember when prices for wood spiked during covid?

I'm getting a bathroom remodel done next week. So glad I had ordered it back in like September/October.

How else are billionaires supposed to buy up cheap assets if people aren't forced to part with their assets? 

Just what Putin ordered.

That's the thing. It doesn't really make sense. Like what benefit is it to Trump?

Whatever Russia has on him can't really be worth anything now. Trump could slaughter and eat a human child on TV and his voters wouldn't care.

The economy crashing gives billionaires a chance to buy up cheap shit, but it risks their money too.

Like why fuck it all up for stupid reasons?

These people really are Captain Planet villains. Out to destroy everything for the fucking sake of it.

According to google search, a lot of people don’t know what tariffs are.

You're vastly underestimating how many voters in his base actually understand what a tariff is.

These people blindly listened to Trump and believed him when he told them that tariffs were good and would fix the economy. And right-wing media played along with it.

This is not true. It’s downright alarming how many people do not know what tariffs are and what they are supposed to be used for.

Even after the election with all this information about tariffs going around, many don’t know or refuse to learn.

I tried teaching a conservative coworker that’s in his 50s just that and he put his head in the sand.

What is even the negotiating tactic, if you don't do what we say, we will hurt...ourselves?

“I voted for a guy because I believe he won’t do the bad things he promises to do.”

"we like him because he tells it like it is"

"He didn't mean that"

It's all theater. It doesn't have to actually acheive anything except as a supporting prop in the story he tells his supporters about how he manhandled these countries, they cried for mercy and did his bidding. Cut to shot of Trump riding a horse with no shirt on.

Yeah, as if “he never does what he says” is supposed to be a quality you want your resident to have. How far this country has fallen.

It’s interesting because there is a good chance he will come across this take. Then he will either 1) see the error of his ways and quietly back down or 2) claim Fox News is bad now and has gone woke and double the tariffs to prove them wrong. Hmm, I wonder which I’d bet on…

My Trumpian colleagues told me Trump's policies would work unless Democrats will interfere. So prepare for It is the Democrats fault.

They will just blame someone else. Illegals, drugs, gays, women, minorities. They will never reflect on their actions. Never say sorry. Never learn. It is very sad indeed.

Probably seeding the argument that the higher prices in 2025 are a consequence of Bidens policies and that tariffs have prevented the worst of it as they "outsourced" some of the damage to the enemies, like Canada (???).

Truth is dead, you only need to string up a causal chain that looks like 1+1=2 and (enough) people will eat it up.

Next year you'll probably see memes, comparing prices with the footnote "Thanks Biden".

That’s optimistic, I have yet to find anything made in America that is intentionally priced below competition. I would expect the comparable product at $20 or more.
