    Absolutely, last year Trump and Republicans were bashing Dems for high eggs price. And eggs price has jumped up over 30% since Trump's inauguration. Scott Bessent (R) taught us lower good price isn't the essence of American dream. C'mon man, we are not stupid.

    my scrambled egg burrito with the sautéed shallots and crumbled sausage with the spicy Tex-mex pico de gallo seasoning and warming happiness of the deliciously vibrant and robust jalapeños is taking a hit right now , for me in my wallet , cuz it costs so much , but it’s cheaper than my last girlfriend , because she was high maintenance and only wanted to eat at the most expensive and luxurious restaurants . Forget you Isabelle . I’m happier without you . Added bonus : I ain’t gotta hear you bitch about the smell that my scrambled egg burrito with the sautéed shallots and crumbled sausage with the spicy Tex-mex pico de gallo seasoning and warming happiness of the deliciously vibrant and robust jalapeños makes ever again . Good riddance .

    @Europa

     He thinks the American public is that stupid, more than likely as a direct result from spending so much time around Trump and his cult

    Gas prices might start to go down from here, but it's not because of help from Trump's tariffs. To the opposite, when our economy is slowing down due to tariffs or trade wars, the demand of gasoline will come down accordingly. Recession will keep consumers staying home longer and spending less. It's ain't beautiful.

    Just like trumpy had zero TO DO for the prices of eggs going down, but we all know the con artist will tell his maga sheep that he got the price of oil to come down and those sheep will say "SUCK ON THAT DEMOCRATS, TRUMPY IS WINNING AGAIN" LOLLLL

It's ain't beautiful.

    Just like trumpy had zero TO DO for the prices of eggs going down, but we all know the con artist will tell his maga sheep that he got the price of oil to come down and those sheep will say "SUCK ON THAT DEMOCRATS, TRUMPY IS WINNING AGAIN" LOLLLL

    an_speak Nationwide bargain retailer is raising prices

                    because of trump tariffs

     

    New York CNN —

    Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, said Trump’s tariffs
    are “too high” and it will raise prices on some items as
    Trump’s global trade war increases the company’s costs.

    “We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible.
    But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced
    levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all
    the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,”
    Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said Thursday on an earnings call.

    an_light “The higher tariffs will result in higher prices,” he said. surprised

    I was listening to some economists talk about how walmart has super low net profit margins, so with tariffs being so high, no way they could eat the tariff costs.  Just not possible.  Also i really dont think shareholders would be very happy about thatnew_laugh_cry

    Heres the question i would love somebody to ask DON THE CON on national tv and show how frigging dumb he truly is.

    I can't believe you can have a population that stupid for real - it isn't even like they have to know how tariffs work or anything (even though that isn't that complicated either) - they could literally just google "what is tariffs" and the first thing it will tell you is that it is a tax on imported goods)

    True.  It's a tax.  Caused by a racist/CONVICTED FELON in the Oval office.

    But the MAGA-cult doesn't care as long as they remain blinded with their political bigotry.  Dems are against the tariffs and that's all the MAGA-goose-steppers need to know - or even want to know....so they can feel justified in going all in to defend the LIAR KING and his modern-day REICH.

    I actually hope he goes through this time with the tariffs on EU (rather than chickens out again) so we can show him what a proper response is - I am of course sorry that it is you guys that has to suffer through this though - let’s see how fun he will find it when your medical and finance sector more or less completely shuts down and you can’t transfer money to other countries

    I wanna know is trump getting absorb the tariff cost on all his cheap awful garbage he sells to magas that comes from china or will he raise his prices or are his products exempt from the tariffs?

    He talks a good game about wanting products made here, well then why doesnt don the con have his hats made at NEW ERA?  A good American company?  Come on magas lets see you defend that bullshit?  I expect to hear crickets from all of you.

    Everytime i see somebody wearing one of trumps maga hats, i just laugh my ass off.  Magas crying about china and then spending their welfare checks on those Chinese hats.  Can anything be funnier then that?

    Btw I thought I would make a survival guide if that happens - since MAGAs won’t understand anyway and google will probably just tell you “don’t make that happen” or “good luck” - but the trading bazooka has a 2 out of 2 success rate of being implemented to the other country defaulting less than a month after - so here goes: 

     

    - if 80-90% of EU members states vote it through 

    - go to the bank right away - withdraw every single dollar you got and buy every food item you can get your hands on (no matter the cost) 

    - pray to God Trump gets to his senses before you starve to dead 

    This is the biggest countries in EU already voting this through - I know these fuckers they won’t blink before you all are history - if we are forced to
