No duh.

Fuck you, t*ump😡

Tell your followers to stock up on everything.

Truckers, farmers, and freight trains use diesel fuel. Can you say inflation?

But I was assured by the MAGA cult that this is an economic golden age & everything is fine.

Thanks Trump.

It’s a direct impact on everything we buy.

Oh you think Forbes? You think sky high diesel prices might cause inflation? You must have some world-class economists working there.

if it cost twice as much to transport it guess where that increased cost is going, just add it to the tariffs, people have a tendency to put some blame on the retailers when in reality it rests on one person-trump

FAFO

LOL. Diesel $9.99 and reg gas $5.69 in California.

"...likely"? "indirect impact"? Who the hell wrote this?

Could? 🤣

"I, your beloved leader and president, Donald J. Trump, tell you: AFTER THE ELECTION, the war will be over and gas prices will drop to 2 dollars." You didn't get the $2,000 from the tariffs, you aren't getting the $5,000 from the vote-buying, and you aren't getting an end to the war or $2 gasoline!

Forbes out here acting like the only people affected are American consumers, completely ignoring how this also affects everyone else in the world. America Exceptionalism at it again while the actions of their mad king makes everyone suffer for their nations choice

Absolutely truckers feed the country fuel prices go up your prices go up

fuck the american consumer! what a bunch a spoiled brat!

#Republicans idea of #America great again. 🇺🇲

Indirect?

And how do you think they'll try to respond? "wE mUsT cUt EnViRoNmEnTaL rEguLaTiOnS aNd tAxEs FoR mY wEaLtHy OiL bUdDiEs AnD sUbSiDiZe ThEm WiTh YOuR TaX mOnEy To LoWeR pRiCeS fOr YoU!"

Are they gonna quit posting the price of diesel & gas when it skyrockets over $🔟

Well, this will bring on the EV age...

You need to blame Trump when posting this headlines. None of this just magically occurred.

Um, doesn't making agriculture, construction, and transportation more expensive have a DIRECT impact on Americans? Jeebus, do better Forbes.

Ya think? We have already been hit with high prices, FOR EVERYTHING, and I think it's going to get worse...

High diesel prices = high home heating oil prices.

$6 per gallon ? In Paris 🇫🇷 Diesel prices are around €2,60 per liter all taxes included, this is equivalent to 🇺🇸$11,41 per gallon.

America was already unaffordable before the pedophile got in office, now it's exponentially worse.

Indirect?!?!😆

What genius wrote this?

Tax the rich!

GREAT JOB MAGA. KEEP WINNING

Buy EVs

Indirect???? No it directly hits my bank account.

Likely to have? I’m no economist, but even I can definitely say that it will indeed impact everything.

THIS is going to directly translate directly into the price tags on our grocery store shelves.

Ridiculous! Now, You all can see just how we’re Winning Bigly! Trump & his republican MAGA’s corrupt crony cult is losing in every area. The American people are suffering senselessly.

Ya don't say, seriously trenchant economic analysis, wow

Anything transported by truck.

"indirect" is a really weird way to say direct. it will worsen inflation. The president's actions are causing this. Fuck, you're headlines are always terribly written

Diesel is $7.48 a gallon at Pilot here.

No friggin kidding

Indirect for who? Lol we normies are gonna feel this immediately.

Cold winter

And grocery store prices.

Trump: winning.

Yep! Inflation is around the corner as salaries do not reflect the current prices.

What do you mean "could worsen inflation" you worthless rag? The patently illegal war of aggression on Iran WILL worsen inflation.

Exactly. High diesel prices don’t just hurt truckers—they ripple through the entire economy. Higher costs for farming, construction, and transportation eventually mean higher prices for everyday Americans. ⛽📈

lets not forget heat this winter

Forbes needs to relearn economics, the more it cost to ship goods from one place to another the more the consumer will pay to cover the added costs. Since everything is transported by trucks (since railroads do not deliver to stores) the cost will be passed along.

YA THINK US diesel soars to new record of over $6 a gallon as Houthis seize control of key strait The Iran-backed militant group took over Yemen's port city of Mokha, an area vital for control of shipping via the Red sea, www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Oil crisis again.

COULD?

trump says Jimmy Carter caused it with help from Jackie O.

Yes, it "could" worsen inflation and Trump "could" shit his pants today.

This will help alternative energy development.

Indirect?

We know you're gonna blame Biden for it...

And FOOD...retailers will put the prices up, and they'll never come down again!

Don't you worry, it will be back to $2 after midterms, and war will end in 48h after the midterms. 🤡

"Indirect"

Heating oil price here in MA yesterday &5.629/gallon.

I still remember when I was a fuel records clerk for a trucking company in the late 70’s & they were freaking out because diesel was nearing 40 cents per gallon! 🤦‍♀️🤯

Not "could". "Will".

We all know that Biden attacked Iran and closed the Strait. Hell, he even bombed the towers because he knew Trump was in one of them.

Forbes decides to use flimsy speech - "It could worsen inflation". I'd say it pretty surely will.

No kidding

Will worsen inflation, not could.

I work in retail grocery. Prices are rising, even at our company that promotes low prices. The prices I see rising the most are on plastic products like trash bags and storage bags, cleaning products and personal items. However, our corporate is trying very hard to keep food prices suppressed

$8.59 San Jose, Calif.

Hope you liked your role in this by using language like this to lessen the problem. This isn't unbiased. You've chosen a side.

Trump doesn't care about high prices because today is Friday and this is his golf weekend again. Trump gets to fly in style on AF1 while we all pay for his glorious golf weekend. Where can I get a gig like that.

Guess what needs Diesel Tractors Farm equipment Semis Road Bulldozers ect. Delivery Trucks VW Cars All will need more $$$ to operate At what point will they have to stop producing or delivering? Will the trump effect never end?

No kidding.

It's the price 20 years ago 🤭

Republicans are WEAK on the ECONOMY. Republicans are WEAK on National Security. Republicans are WEAK on CRIME.

Steve "No Shit Sherlock" Forbes proves once again that any idiot can be a billionaire. You just have to have been smart enough to have been born into a well connected family. youtu.be/Ye28yt64Yjo?...

Trump prices, right?

Ya think??

How is the cost of literally everything going up only “indirect”?

The main thing to hit your farmers hard is the price of diesel, it will devastate rural communities and is entirely unnecessary and the fault of the treacherous, corrupt and incompetent FatOrangeCunt and his GOP idiots

It's crystal clear that Donald's judgment has dropped by a solid 600% too 🫠

"Likely".....? Are you stupid Forbes...?

Food shipped by truck. Everything shipped by truck

It could worsen inflation? It already has and will continue to do so.

I think direct impact is more accurate

Since almost everything is moved by trucks that run on diesel, I'm gonna be brave (heavy sarcasm here) and say EVERYTHING will be impacted by Trump's idiocy. Won't someone please remove him so we can start fixing all the things he broke! PLEASE??

None of it was necessary. ICE killings, the war high costs, billionaires exploiting the weak.

For those of us in Europe, this equates to €1.37/litre (£1.17/litre). How will they cope?

that's a direct impact and back when Democrats were president you would call it what it is: "inflation".

Thank Trump

LOL USD11.10 a gallon in France. Thank you.

Doesn’t stop maga idiots from coal rolling our protest.

So what, our Dear Leader is saving us from starving children receiving food stamps and that's all that matters to me, said the owl to the pussy-tat.

Tractor-trailers and commercial trucks transport roughly 72% of all U.S. freight by weight, according to data tracked by the American Trucking Associations.

Gee, you think?

Likely to have an impact? Think about it for a minute, Forbes, and maybe rephrase that to reflect reality.

Republicans are worthless

Hey Forbes dummies. Rising diesel prices have a DIRECT impact on rising prices for consumers. Stop soft-selling and weasel-wording Trump's destruction of the US economy you cowardly, weakling, fascist apologists.

“Might” “may” “indirect” such soft language for a very likely economic depression. It’s coming, Forbes. Everything and everyone is tapped out.

Inflation isn't just a single number on a chart — it starts right here at the transportation and farming level.

Indirect? Shipping costs are direct cost. Everything will go up hard and fast. Y'all Americans are some dumb f*****s. When did y'all get so stupid?

Dont seem ta be affecting WHYTE FUCKING PRIVILEGE thet "PIMP-putins LIL GIRL RAPING TRAITOR tRASH tRUMP" >>>>>>>>>>>>>is still in thet WHYTE FUCKING HOUSE!!!

Happening now. Dems should loudly, *uniformly* give the (marketing) message: You can thank Trump for higher prices. Are you better off now? Short 'catchphrases' easily repeated become a motto/ rally cry/call to action.

That’s a direct impact, guys and gals.
