    Welp it's offical. When your grocery prices go up next week remember it was trump that did it for absolutely no reason. We don't have a fentanyl problem with canada. It's all a method for them to rob you blindly while they distract you with culture wsr garbage.






    Will cripple the auto industry



    He signs the tariffs on the same day elon musk takes control of the treasury portal where all the tariff money is going. Robbing you blind in the name of populism

    It will only get worse if the tariff wars begin. He's promised retaliation even more if they raise tariffs in response.

    These tariffs are necessary to restore America's standing in the world. A standing that was dramatically compromised by Democrat weakness. Over time, the gains from a stronger America will outweigh any short-term impact of tariffs. Tariffs cannot be viewed in isolation. One must also factor in the benefits from new negotiated trade deals, the USA's contributions to international commitments, aid to foreign countries, and more and more companies choosing to build and manufacture in America -- where no tariffs are paid to sell to Americans. This will be a great things for real wage growth and American jobs. Great things for the American economy. America first.

    GOOD DAY

    Dont forget this same poster @El_Conquistador told us for the past year that Trump would lower grocery prices and he had a way to beat inflation. You can search his posts on these forums. Suddenly now that Trump has signed Tariffs he pivots to how we need to pay for higher prices for nationalism.

    This is what a cult looks like. They have no core ideology or values @Tomstro . They are completely unable to think for themselves

    Die from what? Not getting their cheap Temu products. Because it certainly isn't going to be from food. Fatties will just have to eat less.

    You're a dumbass. Do some research about the amount of pharmaceuticals we import from Canada. This will lead to prescription drugs going up and people not affording their medicines.

    "Libertarian" whos pro tariff is too funny.

    This is quite a way to refer to people with low income just trying to afford groceries. Isnt that what he ran on??? Thats literally what got him elected, he said so himself.

    Im sorry but does any of this not alarm you? Why do you trust Elon and Trump so much??? What has he done to earn this devotion from you?

    Who would've thought in 2025 that we finally have a nationally imposed gas tax that will curb fossil fuel consumption?

    ...From a Republican president, while the Dems are livid.

    This is the beginning of the end of the dollar as the world's reserve currency - the crypto fraudsters probably love this

    But anyway, with the US ruled by a deranged criminal emperor and his billionaire looter holding the checkbook- it's too dangerous to hold UST anymore - they aren't trustworthy

    Anyway most Americans are going to get mega ****ed by MAGA.

    Disgusting and didn't have to be this way

    I’m guessing Trump is going to try and offset the costs of tariffs with massive tax cuts.

    The lower income cohort don’t really pay much in taxes to begin with so as always they will bear the brunt.

    We will see
    How long before we see these gains?
    1 year? 5? My lifetime?

    Just let us know when to expect results

    Don't be ambiguous so later you can claim
    "It would have work if.....dei...democrats " or some other way to skirt responsibility for its results.

    Why can a president impose tariffs without Congress?
