    Read this on FB - Prof Honig wrote this back in 2018 and also did an interview with NPR on this topic around the same time. To quote the person who shared it on FB, “It’s an elegantly simple explanation into the inexplicably destructive negotiating processes of the president”

    No they dont. They plunged America into the great depression.

    Im gonna ask you again, why do you never question Trump. This is cult like behavior from you.

    Question Trump about what exactly? IDC about the tariffs either way. Minimal impact to me.

    I said minimal impact. Food will be the biggest impact and during the Biden administration, I experienced far greater than 25%

    How is that possible? 25% is much higher than any inflation caused by Biden in his administration? This is gonna be way worse.

    If stock market crashes you think bitcoin will go up? It hasn't been like that historically.

    There wasn't 25% rate of inflation.

    That aside much of it was caused supply, shipping, materials shortages, etc.

    This is a purely elective matter brought on by the president targeting our neighbors and allies. It is beyond stupid.

    Covid is no longer an issue. It wasn't transitory. It was the Biden administration recklessly spending

    Yes, I know it is intentional - but in the end it is STUPID they don't have a clue as to how this all works, you can't run a government like a business.

    In the end, they will fail or society will pick up their pitchforks or worse and sort it out.

    Compare the prices from 4 years ago. I could buy ground beef $1.99 a pound. Now 4.99. Chicken was .99. Now over $2.00. Eggs $.50, now 2.50. I could go on forever.

    Mexican produce is actually pretty cheap and a 25% increase isn't going to kill me

    Explain to me the purpose of these Tariffs. This is Trump's Ego masturbating. He warns of pain...LOL. This MF won't suffer, the American people will. Well, this is what they voted for. *popcorn ready*.

    American manufacturing of certain products in not coming back. They will just move to Vietnam, India, and other places in Asia.

    Does he think he can force Canada to become the 51st state? LOL.
