    I honestly would have been for a 10 percent increase in tariffs on most products that come into the United States other than food and energy, then using that money to invest in strategic industries such as chips, renewable energy, and technology.

    Trump never takes responsibility for any of his ****ups. Ever. Somehow this is all of the fault of ... Hillary's emails, Russia Hoax, Hunter Biden dick pics, The Obama Deep State, etc.

    Sony is raising the price of all PlayStation 5 models by $50 in the US. In a blog post announcing the change, Sony cited the “challenging economic environment,” which includes the tariffs President Trump has placed on imported products.

    The changes will go into effect on Thursday, and the new prices are as follows:

    • PlayStation 5 – $549.99
    • PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – $499.99
    • PlayStation 5 Pro – $749.99
    Sony says that the retail prices for PS5 accessories “remain unchanged.”

    In April, Sony raised the price of PS5 hardware in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, and in May, the company said it was considering price hikes to cover the Trump administration’s tariffs.

    Microsoft has also raised the price of Xbox hardware and accessories, including bumping up the Xbox Series X digital edition to $549.99. Ahead of the Switch 2’s launch, Nintendo hiked the cost of accessories for the console, and earlier this month, it raised the price of the original Switch due to the impact of tariffs.


    doesn’t bother me, but maybe this will get all those young men republicans want to kick off Medicaid to go find the jobs they claim they’re not doing because they’re too busy living in mom’s basement playing video games

    Sad, but true. Imagine trying to twist the narrative like pretzels just to pretend Trump's doing exactly what they hoped he would do. It's so nauseating and cult like. They just can't face the truth.

    Foreign producers are paying a huge percentage of the tariffs... which is why inflation on tariff-related goods has not jumped. Basic economics.

    I have personally negotiated several deals where the foreign producer has volunteered on the front end to shoulder the tariffs. Companies do not like to lose market share -- and will pay up to retain it... and this is exactly what we are seeing. And Trump KNOWS THIS, which is why he has outsmarted all the academic economists and been able to implement the tariffs with almost no damage whatsoever to the economy. Today's GDP growth rate supports this, as does the low inflation rate.

    These are the facts -- and as I share these facts, economic growth is robust, the stock market is soaring (all-time highs), unemployment is low, and inflation is low. Trump's economic policies are working -- there's no arguing it.


    GOOD DAY
