Its actually mid-single digits. But don’t let the facts get in the way of your lies.

Companies raising prices and consumers shopping for bargains.

The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan Washington-based think tank, projects that tariffs will affect almost 75 percent of U.S. food imports, leading to higher prices on liqueurs and spirits, baked goods, coffee, fish and beer.

Oh? Ford reported a net loss of $29 million last quarter, compared with $1.8 billion in net income a year ago, after being hit by more than $800 million from Trump’s tariffs.

Despite the fact that Ford manufactures most of its vehicles in the U.S., the company relies on parts imported from outside of the country and was also hit hard by new tariffs on steel and aluminum.

Everyone noticing the price increases this week? I sure am.

May want to read this before making such an absurd claim.

The tariffs are working out well.

Proctor and Gamble just announced a 25% price hike.

I am sure Modi is thrilled he bent the knee.

Good we paid for Vance and family to travel there!

Honestly the 25% tariff might be due to Vance's complaints about the service in India.

Trump really doesn’t understand that Americans pay these tariffs, does he?

"Japan will pay Reciprocal Tariffs to the United States of 15%," Trump wrote.

No. He still has no idea how they work. Peter Navarro and his other advisors aren’t going to explain it to him because they just want to replace the progressive income tax with a VAT.

You’re giving Trump too much credit. He is using the tariffs as a shakedown mechanism to enrich himself. He understands perfectly well that someone else is paying and doesn’t care that it is American interests he is destroying.

Someone please explain how US consumers paying a 15% commission rather than 1% commission is good for their pocketbooks?

Trump just did the most European thing of all: he just implemented a backdoor nationwide sales tax.

a national sales tax that disproportionately impacts the working classes, so that is a win for the billionaires and leisure class.
