Good job, Minjoo idiots..

What should really worry you is the massive spike in consumer prices Trump’s reckless economic and trade policies will trigger.

We’re not in CCP China, Korea Thing. What massive price increases are you talking about?

Prices are already way down in under 6 months…

Even CNN has noticed:

“What should really worry you is the massive spike in consumer prices Trump’s reckless economic and trade policies will trigger.”

“Will” trigger?

Are you saying this due to your vast knowledge of economics after factoring in the unique conditions of Trump’s current policies or is this based on your fortune telling abilities?

setnaffa, you’re a White Christian Nationalist. Did Jesus teach you to hate other groups, especially the marginalized groups? This is your Republican Party, your own Stephen Miller – A Jewish immigrant from Eastern Europe who pushes a racial cleansing of America.

Did Jesus speak like that? You are disgusting people.

Silly Korea Thing thinks Jews speak for anything other than the interests of Jews.

Bonus: Even a rudimentary knowledge of comparative religion will let one know Jews talking shìt have NOTHING to do with Jesus.

So much for DOGE and the rule of law. Elon to be deported after making Trump angry?

So one guy can decide on a whim, who gets stay in the country. So much for the rule of law.

Shows you how fraudulent subsidies have built up Tesla.
Musk supported Trump, as long as Trump’s policies benefited his companies, and was allowed to rob the country blind.

But the close relations came to an end as Trump’s new bill will end Musk’s EV mandate. Two fraudulent mobsters fell out of line over the share of their loot.

What is the lesson for the maggots here? Even if you’re white, but if you don’t fall in line, they’ll come and get you too, eventually.

They should also investigate Melania Trump. Her getting the Genius Visa for being a model is highly suspicious. Illegal immigrants like that are being deported right now, so why not her too?

Maybe Musk can try to get out of this mess by buying the Trump Gold Card – and buy his way into the US. Other option for Musk, threaten to destroy Starlink and thus destroy the US military and economy.

This clown show is highly amusing. This is like watching a car wreck.

Even CNN has noticed:

again tries to spread fake news and misinformation. Had he taken the time to read the article in full he would have noticed the following;

But the price increases aren’t widespread yet, Powell noted, because stores are still working through the inventory that came in to their warehouses before Trump put tariffs in place.

“There haven’t been many significant upticks in prices as of yet given that many retailers are still selling through their lower-cost inventory,” Dana Telsey, CEO and chief research officer of Telsey Advisory Group told CNN.

Walmart, Target, Lululemon, Home Depot and Costco among others have said in recent weeks that they will raise some prices because of tariff pressures.

Fed Chair Powell on Wednesday agreed that the tipping point for broad consumer price increases could come this summer as inventories of pre-tariff warehoused goods dry up.

“We do expect to see more of that over the course of the summer,” Powell said. “It takes some time for tariffs to work their way through the chain of distribution to the end consumer.”

“It’s a question of when, not if,” Stephanie Roth, chief economist at Wolfe Research, told CNN.

To summarize, retail prices haven’t risen broadly yet because many stores are still selling inventory imported before tariffs were imposed. However significant price increases will appear as pre-tariff stock runs out.

It is you who needs to try to keep up.

It turns out, when wholesale prices go up, retailers do not “sell through their low-cost inventory”.

They immediately price things at market rates regardless of whether they paid the JIT price or if they thought ahead and have been sitting on a warehouse of it with the intention of making extra profit. The informal economic term for this is greedflation.

These are more lies preying upon the ignorant.

And there are plenty of ignorant.
