No kidding it hasn't shown up.  Why?  Because companies boosted inventory to beat the tariffs.  Let's see what happens in the back half of this fiscal year.

This is what you voted for, right?

It beats the alternative but his tariff crap has always been asinine.

If Trump had just sat on his hands and let the economy he inherited do its thing, we wouldn’t be watching GDP shrink, the dollar tank, tourism flatline, and inflation creep back up. But hey, tariffs and chaos are apparently the new growth strategy.

 

Enjoy the day you voted for!

What exactly did you vote for?

So Trumpies, help me to understand:

 

- we need tariffs to bring back the basic production jobs that have largely moved overseas to take advantage of cheaper labor.

- therefore, we should put tariffs on foreign goods, including agricultural products, to encourage U.S. production

- but we cannot grow tomatoes economically in the United States without foreign labor

- so we should import (provide some kind of "pass" according to Trump; we call that a work visa)  Mexicans to come and pick our tomatoes here

 

In what way, then, does a tariff on tomatoes protect American jobs?

I think he's throwing stuff at the wall to see what will stick. Still miles better than whatever leadership was under the previous administration.

No.  The reassurances they'd extend the tax cuts and the deregulation should've produced the sugar high investor reaction like his first term. Blown opportunity with his tariffs as interest rates would be lower and the stock market would be higher.  More small businesses, jobs, even lower inflation, etc...
