I experienced skyrocketing prices caused by tariffs myself in the past week.

Two items I bought at Home Depot last month had more than doubled when I bought two more this week.

Trump's tariffs are about to hurt everyone's pocketbooks and put businesses out of business.

Small businesses won't survive the Trump presidency.

#1: Hi American Unity: TV mobster Tony Soprano learned that one of his capos, Vito Spatafore Sr, was gay, which to the mafia is an infamia. But Tony was reluctant to whack Vito because he was the top earner in the Soprano Crime Family. If Trumpf was a capo in a crime family and destroying business like he is with the US economy, the Dotard would be snuffed without question. Link: youtu.be

Trump's the opposite of an "earner," isn't he? He's now costing all of us more.

Americans are about to find out just how bad he is for consumers. The linked article has images of receipts with added tariff charges.

A local supermarket typically sold a dozen (imported) roses for $19.99 until this week. They were $34.99 yesterday.

The whole spectrum of goods American consumers buy are skyrocketing in price.

#4: Trumpf is an "earner" for the elites, insider traders, crypto-currency grifters, real estate moguls, and Russian oligarchs, so he hasn't been iced. But for the American people, Trumpf is certainly no "earner." I hope Republican voters are delighted to have the Idiot-in-Chief literally taking food off their tables.

My wife and I sold a farm we owned a couple of years ago. We're SO glad we did. The man who farmed it for us for years (and bought it from us) is now dealing with skyrocketing prices on everything from fertilizer to parts for equipment. I feel badly for him over that, but with a sigh and a head shake because he supported the dotard and got what he voted for.

#6: 'Tis quite difficult to be sympathetic to a racist who voted for Trumpf, isn't it? The ballot your farmer cast on 5 Nov 2024 was really a bullet he fired at his own foot or head, splashing economic bloodshed everywhere.

- got what he voted for.

There's a lot of that going around. It may be harder in future to deny ever being MAGA than was to deny being a Bush Republican, after he destroyed the economy... after he killed masses of people in his war.

Just calling yourself a, 'Libertarian' instead ain't a' gonna werk this time!

As long as the Dump is in charge, it will be short-term pain, followed by long-term pain.
