I can’t afford this Trump economy

Imagine the outrage if this had happened under Biden or Harris. But you won’t hear a peep about it now because it was never ever ever about inflation. People weren’t actually hurting from it. It was always about the media finding something to bash the boring Biden admin about so they could make the Biden v Trump rematch a horse race. The media made the booming economic situation a negative for Democrats.

PILES OF DEAD CHICKENS!!!!!! DEAD CHICKENS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!
 

From the comments: A first year student in economics could have predicted the impact of his tariff threats in this economy. Trump's tariffs threats still stand but are delayed. With this trade war tantrum of Trump's, he has destroyed any trust between the U.S. and our trade partners. Already we are seeing our once reliable and staunchest trade partners turning away from U.S. markets. Changing trade patterns to bolster their economies against his unpredictability and belligerence. For instance, Trump’s tariff threats highlighted Canada's risk of overdependence on U.S. trade, and they are now responding by announcing a refocusing on the Trans Mountain Expansion, slowing down and potentially halting construction of new oil pipelines to the U.S. which will cause increased prices in petroleum based products and energy production in the U.S. Oil once destined for the U.S. will now be shipped by tanker to Japan and China among other markets, marking a significant shift for Canada, which has long been stuck exporting its vast flows of oil solely to the US. This is a huge loss of cheap oil and a blow to energy security for the U.S. All because of Trump's rash proclamations and threats. Canada is looking at all trade paths with the U.S. and finding ways to decouple from its suddenly unpredictable neighbor — and play a larger role in global oil markets.

And it gave Canadian citizens time to reassess their buying habits and quit buying US products. I haven't heard of any that are stocking up, just changing their buying habits. They are discovering they can get Canadian made products if they do a little research and they aren't being quiet about their discoveries. So I suspect they will also look for other countries to export their oil and lumber to. I understand China has shown an interest. This should have been exactly what the US didn't want! They should have learned from his last go round when farmers lost their market for soybeans, wheat and other agricultural products.

Now companies will buy up foreign goods during the 30-day delay and then sell the items at the tariff price after tariffs are implemented. Big pay day for importers. Sucks for consumers.
 
Gas station by my house is up 30 cents per gallon since January 18th.
Yep I noticed that it’s ticked up a bunch for the past month or so too.

I wish this story was covered with just 1/100th the gusto Biden’s dog or obama’s tan suit was covered. Will the media even report this? Seems pretty important since egg prices was the country’s #1 issue a few months ago. Then once Election Day passed, suddenly this story dropped off the map. Wonder why?

I was much better off financially a few months ago than now. Now my 401k growth has slowed and egg prices and gas have soared. I’ve had enough of Trump’s populism. Can’t afford it any more

I don't know why I'm surprised at any of this, and I don't understand why the lefties on this board are working so hard to prevent this information from being uncovered.

@Red , please explain how not exposing this "sensitive information" is the noble path? It is theft. Your side is stealing from the American people, and apparently stealing from Haitian kids too!
