Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Do they think there is a switch in the oval office that you can turn from expensive groceries to cheap groceries? Like with oil?
The math was always simple. He had two main economic proposals. And tariffs + destroying the agrarian workforce = higher prices.
Don't forget raising taxes if your not 1%
Duh? His plan is to slash regulations and increase tariffs meaning companies will be able to set whatever price they want without oversight and blame it on other countries retaliatory tariffs all while laughing all the way to the bank after buying any and all competition.
I mean, his trade war mentality the first time is what put us in this situation to begin with. I don’t know how anyone will be surprised when the price of literally everything starts skyrocketing again next year.

The average person is incredibly dumb.

And yet, I bet the bulk of his supporters will be very pikachu face if they do. Faux News, etc., will have to scramble to explain to the deplorables how this is really the fault of [qon boogeyman].
It will also keep interest rates from coming down. Markets are already expecting fewer cuts.

Too bad the people that FELT POOR Y'ALL aren't going to be the only ones paying the price for their stupid choices.
If only there were lessons to learn from the past https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot%E2%80%93Hawley_Tariff_Act
The lucky thing is people are going to get punished for being stupid. It won't teach anything, but here we are.
