Trump says US prices ‘could go up’ as he threatens new tariffs on trade partners

[Althea]

You don't.

LOL. Well, you're the only one thus far that has illustrated gross ignorance re. tariffs. By design, tariffs increase prices. There is no scenario where imposing tariffs lowers prices.

 

[Althea]

well Like I have been saying IMO corporations will not only raise prices up the amount of the tariffs but a couple percent more to pad their profits and blame it on the tariffs.

Again

Just for the election, then back up. As we see by the recent 3% inflation report for Dec..

Until/unless the govt. intervenes in corporate price gouging, prices will not go down. Some companies are slowly beginning to lower prices, but not many.

 

[Althea]

Yeah - then prices would have continued to go down, as they were.

Harris ran on a platform of addressing corporate greed.

trump took their campaign donations

 

[Libhater]

I now promise to raise inflation.

I don't recall hearing biden say that he would gladly raise inflation to record highs.

The trump virus initiated record inflation. Biden got it under control, but his record breaking Stock Market numbers reflect record corporate profits due to greed.

POTUS has little power to change that with an unwilling Congress.

You are imagining things.
