that sounds low

Hello. Have you seen prices lately? I get new sticker shock everytime I go to the store.

As it should be. Another defeat for Trump. 👌🏽

Sounds like the old saying rings true: tax the goods, but it’s the buyers who feel the pinch. It's intriguing how the burden shifts away from its intended targets. What do you think will happen next—more tariffs or a push for trade reform?

Well..duh. Major beneficiary is Trump who accepts bribes for “exceptions”.

Apparently not the Golden Age for anyone but the administration lining its own pockets.

Democrats should run on Piggy enacting the largest tax increase on Americans in 2025 through his tariffs.

Elections have consequences!!!

You can guarantee these costs will ultimately be off loaded on consumers plus interest in the following years.

Excellent analysis. Confirms OECD data: emerging markets 4% growth vs advanced 1.6%. 2024-2025 snapshot: • Global GDP: 3.1% YoY • Inflation: 5.4% → 3.8% (OECD) • US GDP: 2.6% → 1.8% • 90% tariff cost on consumers Policy trade-off: protectionism vs. growth resilience in synchronized global slowdo

My coffee just went up 3$ I want to thank all maga fuckers for that

Pedophile-in-chief also Liar-in-chief.

No shit

Maybe we can get AI agents to undue the economic burden before it’s too late

This is a bullshit headline. Companies paid tariffs, marked up goods to profit even more than they were, and WE all paid the fucking price.

You mean Don Snorlione

HE lied?

I bet Trump denies those figures

No. Fucking. Shit. 🙄

Uhhh, yup, that's how it works. If the company needs that tariffed item so has to buy it at a higher price then the maker of the item does a happy dance for the immense stupidity of whoever imposed the tariff. Then the buyer votes for a better leader, maybe Tarrifs do work

Got my first “in your face” tariff charge the week-order a dress from Italy, and got text notification from DHL about it. Tariff was $56 for a $140 dress. Crazy! I think most are unaware of tariff costs on everyday purchases and are only aware that prices are “in general” skyrocketing.

Thanks captain obvious

What a shocker!! You mean the talented folks in the "Administration" have been lying to "you, the people?" I'm not sure I can take that stress.

Wait until this year when the firms won't absorb as much and pass it along....

Tax on the people. It was a way to cut tax on the rich and spread more of the burden out to everyone.

Working class pays more in taxes, but the insanely wealthy companies pay cents on the dollar

Shocked, I tell you! Completely shocked! 🙄

Those of us who took Econ 101 already knew that. But thanks?

But... but... donny said that's not how it works so how can this possibly be so. So very thankful that he and his are so very bad at everything.

that’s what everybody said was going to happen

The direct payment of tariffs doesn’t include consumer costs from policy changes to recoup tariff $$ without directly increasing prices. Things like shorter more difficult return policies, changes in shipping costs and fees.

oh shit the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found. the trump is going to hit the fan on that partt

Duh! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
