Yeah. Prices ain’t going down. Profits are just going to go up.
This was the reason for the tariffs. An excuse to raise prices and keep them high.
America is so screwed.
Don't worry it won't stay bad for long .... it's going to get worse.
We know what went down and it wasn't prices.
It really makes you think: which rich assholes recently bought stock in grocery store corporations?
There was a reason to raise food prices and it will stay up because these companies are greedy and won't lower the prices back.
Yea they’ve already removed all the value sized products and shrunk down the remaining products. We’re stuck buying 25-50% less food for 25-50% more money
So it's executive orders on top of executive orders now? Truly democratic.
He doesn’t know how to govern and get approval so executive order is all he has.
Tired of winning yet?
If Trump not admitting defeat were true they wouldn't be calling him TACO.
He doesn't admit defeat, he claims some kind of win or deal and then backs down.
T A C O. Invest with that in mind, it's like gambling with a 100% chance.
I'm actually surprised he even gives a shit. I assumed he would just go on forever, ignoring facts and proclaiming everyone who contradicts him to be a radical left antifa terrorist.
That won't change.
I'm kind of surprised. He could have been like "We won guys. That why we're taking them down. Because we're winning so much." And get away with it.
I continue to think at least his administration, maybe not him specifically, drove prices up in 2025 on purpose.
Imagine midterm campaign ads, bragging about how prices have decreased, and citing annual percentage decrease. Damn near impossible when you are always trying your best to manage affordability but perhaps actually doable if you blow things up the year prior.
If they did somehow cut a partial rebate check from the tariffs right smack in the middle of midterm campaigns, they brag about lower prices and people feel the weight of that bonus in their pocket, even if it was their own money in the first place. Lots of people act like tax refund is some sort of spring bonus instead of repayment of a 0% loan they have to the government.
In short, they are going to win midterms by botching the off year.
Did he admit it? Did he say that? Cuz your readers will think so, but MAGA won't.
This is a perfect title.
I want some journalists to ask him why reversing his ~~taxes~~, oops, I mean, "tariffs" is a good thing, if ~~taxes~~ tariffs are so great?
big hands?
you might remember him as a man with small hands
Jesus fucking Christ, I just realized that we elected uncle jack to the office of president. Both are incompetent child molesters with severe body image issues. Ugh
Tiny hands, the tiniest, everyone says so!
This will threaten all those new banana factories in Michigan. Takin away our banana jerbs.
Cocaine is listed in this, way towards the last 1/3 with all the other chemicals. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/annex.pdf
Taco will always Taco
Trump never admits anything, he just constantly contradicts himself.
And his base will claim he's doing them a favor. "Look, he's lowering prices by removing tariffs (that totally already existed before him!)"
Trade strategy lol. Whatever you say.
