Which part of that cycle was supposed to fix the cost of living problems again? Last I checked, those tariffs aren't going towards universal basic income or social services.
Everything he's planning is going to have negative effects on the economy...
Deport every? No one to work the jobs most refuse to do... Means food, housing, and other shortages which makes prices go up.
Tariffs? Make everything cost more and force companies to charge consumers.
Reduce education standards? Keep everyone dumb so they vote for us!!!!

Finally trickle down economics starts working /s
I can only hope this also kills the 'i am a youtuber/influencer, buy my astoundingly overpriced merch' business.
New MrBeast video: "I Got Hunted By Border Patrol" or "First to smuggle my merch across the border wins $1,000,000"
Force it to rue into apartments?
Who tf goes to brick and mortar stores to buy electronics today?
I don't support trump here but like... Fuck best buy.
I bet you that the Right is going to performatively do to a few companies the kind of "don't you dare raise prices" bullying that the Democrats should have been doing when inflation had started spiking. And it's going to go down in history that the Right held corporations to account.
Public companies would sooner stop selling goods than eat those costs. Anything with a profit margin below 35% would just be taken off the shelves, and the rest of them would suffer in quality to claw back part of those lost profits.
Read all about it in this month’s issue of Duh.
Could??? Stop pussyfooting around and tell us that it will indeed cause you to raise prices.
Thank you bestbuy for making this statement after the election.
Not that it would've made any difference. I'm disgusted with my country.
Trump said himself that prices were going to go way up. There's not anybody else out there that would have made a difference. When these idiots can't afford to go to McDonald's anymore, and they find they can't get on disability they're going to change their tune far too late.
"Could"
Goddamn it I'm sick and tired of these articles pussyfooting around the issue.
