PROMISE EVERYTHING

DELIVER NOTHING

BLAME BIDEN

But first, prep your victims by convincing them to distrust mainstream journalist, distrust science, distrust educators, distrust democrats, because “only I can fix it”, only listen to me. Everything else is a lie, fake, a scam.

We got email from a chocolate shop we like to visit for sweet treats: their prices will be going up, because of tariff impacts on confectionery supplies.

Further proof was Trump's reaction to the Amazon news that they would start listing the tariff costs in their product pricing. (After all, they list the sales tax cost, why not the tariff cost?) The Trump administration immediately came back with the accusation of - "This is a hostile and political act by Amazon". Of course Amazon backed off immediately. No one can afford both tariffs and presidential retribution for exposing the truth.

Yesterday I was talking with an HVAC small business owner. He was decrying the immediate spike in the cost of the mechanical units when the tariffs were announced. But then said, "On the other hand I am tired of being taken advantage of by other countries." I said, "Well, things were pretty good while we were being taken advantage of." He responded, "I suppose it will take a while for the tariffs to work." I said, "Let me know when we're back to break-even."
