We should all obnoxiously call it Trumpflation and put stickers with Trump saying "I did that" everywhere like the Republicans did to Biden.

I'm ready to be paying higher prices now for merchandise. Things that are made in China. Businesses will have to raise their prices to make up for paying for higher tariffs.

I wonder what Trump voters will be blaming now for "higher inflation."

I find it hilarious how Trump voters are already facing consequences for their vote. Also how the hell are they paying attention now to him while they never did pre election.

I taught high school Civics and Economics and we did a block on inflation. Even my students could understand how tariffs would raise the price of goods. Someone who calls himself a genius cannot understand this basic concept?
