Trump Effect

Sounds good to me as well. Of course, the companies that are lowering prices back down to ‘near pre-tariff levels’ are using their big, fat tariff rebate checks they received—that we payed for—to lower their currently raised prices on a small number of select items. Good marketing for them though.

Just something to remember.

Thought they were getting money back that they had paid as a tariff. Most of the higher prices are still attributed to Biden’s inflation, which was higher than we had seen in 40 years. I’m always thinking of the consumer, but some cry when prices go up and they cry when they come down. It’s a never ending cycle.

Enjoying my Tacoma.

I think it’s a little of both. The ‘big boys’ may have originally eaten some of the tariffs. Then, they finally had to raise prices. So, we paid at least some of the tariffs via higher prices. I remember Walmart finally having to raise their prices on a lot of their goods since they get a bunch from China, and other foreign countries.

As an aside, I spent a great deal of my youth in Bentonville, AR because my mom grew up there, and half my family still lives in the area. Sam Walton never stocked a foreign product in his original store. Everything was American made or grown. He’s probably turning over in his grave nowadays.

No doubt Sam Walton is turning over in his grave. American made was something he built his business on and was proud of it. His kids are some greedy individuals. Not to mention he took care of his employees. Today they treat their employees like numbers because that’s what they are to them. I stay away from Chinamart as much as I can.

I won’t lie. I shop for certain items at Walmart. Not groceries. Typically, things like birdseed, fake Advil, shampoo, soap, fake Lysol, and stuff like that. Sometimes, I purchase car stuff. I double-check AutoZone to make sure my veteran’s discount won’t beat Walmart’s price. Basically, I buy stuff that is disposable, or I don’t expect to last long anyway.

Some people live in an area where Walmart is their only grocery store around.

Curious what you think about this!

Can't take you seriously. You lied about the late spring, early summer con job. Remember, trust the process. How's that working out??

I don't think any honest, true conservative person would think that Trump's an idiot.

Sycophant: A person who flatters and praises powerful figures excessively, often believing (or pretending) they can do no wrong, usually for personal gain or status. This is a classic term for uncritical adoration.

No sir. It’s the hypocrisy of the left who only scream if it’s Trump. Administrations have been compared throughout the ages. Only the left cries foul.

The left does not control any branch of the government and does not cry foul about elections. If you are really so blind as to make that statement you need a service dog.

Hillary is still crying. Stacey Abrams hasn’t let it go. Still need a seeing eye dog? What’s even worse is that your democratic (I use that term loosely) party still can’t admit they screwed up the past election. What the left controls is too many impressionable young minds and they have warped them into believing the woke crap and the free stuff.
