All of that happened during Biden's presidency before any tariffs were levied. Trump said he would use tariffs to even the trade playing field. If retailers raised their prices on goods because he said that LAST YEAR, they must've had a crystal ball telling them Trump would win.
Personally, I haven't experienced a significant price increase, above what we've experienced over the last few years anyway.
Pace yourself, grasshopper. It's going to be a long 4 years, and 2028 isn't looking very good based on the DNC marketing strategy.

Walmart literally said this is in ANTICIPATION of tariffs. They also looked into surge pricing.
They were already moving logistic and supply lines to be ready.
Most large companies were.
You haven't experienced a huge price hike more than the last few years because Biden tamed the inflation brought on by supply chain disruption post COVID and Greedflation from corporate America. So that little bump in December was closer to what we had see during the worst times...except it was caused entirely by the government getting involved via the threat of tariffs.
