Haha who was the idiot that claimed the tariffs weren't raising prices because Home Depot wasn't raising their prices?

Probably the same guy who declared we don't need the Weather Service anymore because we have the Weather Channel.

Yes. That actually happened.

... CFO Richard McPhail said Home Depot would have to implement some price increases as a result of the Trump administration's taxes on imports. ...

When a Bloomberg reporter talked with him, the reporter said he mentioned that, so far, Home Depot has been working mostly from pre-tariff inventory, but he expects that to change in the second half of the year.

So Trump's strategy is working then, which is awesome to hear. Companies in America will see it's lucrative again to produce goods long since left behind because it wasn't worth producing given imports were cheaper. Thus, more people hired in America. Thus, more money being made and spent by those being employed. Thus inflation cools. Considering Reps are much better with logic than Dems and the 1-2 year blip that is needed to make the tariff strategy actually work was already part of the plan, all this article is doing is validating the strategy is working. We need to go through Trump's whole term to determine if the strategy works. And Reps can't blame Dems for trying to block everything, Reps do the same to Dems. It's just part of the fight both sides have to go through.

Oh, and it gives every company a finger to point when their companies lose money because of their own incompetence. But liberals are defending them now when they used to vilify the rich. That was an unintended and not predicted aspect of the tariff increases, though.

Those tariffs will come down faster than industrial production can get stood up.

If you ever worked at a company that makes a product, you'd know that.

Thus, companies won't see it's "lucrative." Companies will see a loss.
