Trump says Americans could feel ‘some pain’ from tariffs as he threatens more import taxes
President Donald Trump says Americans could feel “some pain” from the emerging trade war triggered by his tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China.
"Trade wars are good, and easy to win."
proceeds to wage this war on four fronts simultaneously like some kind of Wolfensteinian mecha hitler
A trade war without giving businesses an alternative.
Tariffs only ever work if there's an alternative option. But he didn't make any effort to do that. So this is going to be a massive self-inflicted wound.
Trump: the innocent shall suffer!
But mah eggs...
Donvict is going to set things up so that the price of eggs will be the least of the worries when it comes to costs.
Problem solved!
When do we get those cheaper eggs?
When is inflation coming down?
Anybody from MAGA care to guess?
When do we get those cheaper eggs?
More of a "where" than a "when", but:
Ironically, Greenland has cheaper eggs ($3.93 a dozen) in spite of being so far from anywhere that produces them on an industrial scale that they have to have them flown in at great expense.
And before you get any Trumpian ideas: becoming a part of the US would without a doubt result in higher prices in Greenland as under-regulated US companies take hold.
So what I'm saying is that you should embark on an exciting new career smuggling eggs from Greenland to the US!
Trump on Sunday night returned from Florida and threatened to impose steeper tariffs elsewhere, telling reporters that the import taxes will “definitely happen” with the European Union and possibly with the United Kingdom as well.

Uh huh. So given Canada, Mexico, China, counting the EU as a single unit, that'd be a concurrent trade war with all four top US trade partners and -- "maybe" -- the UK.
The rationale for the EU and UK should be interesting, because I don't think that fentanyl's gonna work.

Fixed it for you
"We don't negotiate with communists" will be my guess.
At first, this might hurt a little.
Then a lot.
Helping Americans stay thin by not being able to afford groceries.
