Trump: I don't believe that.
Welker: Can you guarantee American families won't pay more?
Trump: I can't guarantee anything..

Again.
Call it out
No guarantees
No responsibility
No accountability
No truth
And yeah, we won't have to worry about inflation because the whole economy will be tanked.
I love how he answers this.
He believes something( ie. no facts to back it up) and then gives no guarantee that his belief will ever work out( how could he?).
The definition of "have your pie and eat it".
And now?
Not so fast gullible people.....
Now it's
"I can't/won't GUARANTEE anything.
Heh.
Yeah.

So there you have it folks, why the f**k did you vote for a person who won't fulfill the agenda he ran on?
Boy, some people will believe any shit that comes out of his mouth and they should have known far better.
His entire CAMPAIGN was based on grocery prices and that's her only pushback?
49% of the nation are useful idiots for billionaires
He’s a pathological liar, and a sociopath !!!!!
Stop giving him airtime !!!!
It's like finding a four leaf clover, or seeing a unicorn!
It doesnt matter if he is saying something positive or negitive, you cant believe a word that he pukes out of that lie hole in his face.
or is she afraid of banishment and jail if she asks this question?
I am so done with MSM.
Dangerous doesn’t begin to describe the gollum.

If consumers stop buying tariffed goods, then importers will stop importing. But they'll still be stuck with some inventory they've paid additional tariffs on.
I don't know anything. 🤡🖕
Mom: You didn't finish your brussel sprouts.
Me: Yes, I did.
Mom: I found them in the trash can in your room.
Me: Huh. That's weird.
Her next question, the question of ANY competent reporter, would and should have been, “Ok, then, explain how tariffs work.”
just one more of corporate media’s pathetic, incompetent ‘I guess we’ll just leave it at that’ hard-hitting interviews.
I stole this. Whoever said it first is a fucking genius.
It. Is. A. Fact.
Not always when his lips are moving.
He has a side-eye reflex every time he lies. Can’t help it.
Was NEVER mentioned at the end of "I ALONE CAN FIX IT!" nor "it'll be so easy" nor "I'll get it done and FAST" nor "NOBODY KNOWS more about _____ than me. Believe me"
Now playing, "Who Knew H.C. Could Be So Hard?: Redux"

Trump moonwalking all over his dumbest supporters.
This is just a ploy for more control (selling exceptions) and probably a plan to give corporations a reason to jack up prices and pad the bottom line.
It’s more corruption and stealing by the wealthy class, under the guise of protecting US companies.
Who are you people who voted for this asshole?

The fact remains that tariffs raise prices for consumers, even if alternatives are available for substitution.
"These numbers are comparable in magnitude to the tariffs that were applied, which suggests that much of the tariffs were passed on almost immediately to US importers and consumers"
So, while it's true, for instance, that importers can negotiate with exporters
But I seriously doubt his administration will ensure that consumers are protected and that only suppliers bear the burden by only applying tariffs to goods with elastic demand.
He'll apply tariffs transactionally, wherever they benefit him and his cronies.
Trump's 'argument' sounds good to MAGA because he's lying about who pays.
Moreover, tariffs permit the suppliers of alternatives to also raise their prices, as there's no incentive to maintain the lower price any longer, and this what actually happens.
Champagne is not CA sparkling, and Moet is not Tattinger.
I may choose a Napa for NYE because of tariffs, but the substitution <>.
Go watch a movie!
It’s all so scary these days and out of control.
I’m just so sad, sick, and disappointed in humanity. And especially Americans. And American media.
Frightening time.
