Everything has gone up in prices since MAGA's white nationalist 34 count felon president has once again, taken up residency in the White House. The eggs so cherished by MAGA, which vicariously "shielded" in closet racists for their white nationalist perspectives, has skyrocketed into a prices never before seen in U.S. history. It is only going to get worse.
Trump has been slapping tariffs on everything, and destroying "sacred" relationships between our allies on a daily basis. Last week, aluminum foil rose up at Dollar Tree from $1.25 to 1.75 due to tariffs place on aluminum a few weeks ago. Dollar Tree has a lot of imports from China, to the point the store should change its name. I doubt this store will stay in business, as it is loaded with Chinese imports. Canadians import fuel and a lot other goods to the United States, all which is resulting in higher prices for American consumers.
In response to the so called "Liberation Day", China retaliated the Trump tariffs imposed on its country, by imposing a 34% tariff on all imports from the United States, set to start on April 10. It is being reported the only country spared a raise on tariffs imposed by the United States is Russia. Axios recently reported in a published Axios article "Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Axios Wednesday that Russia was left off because U.S. sanctions already "preclude any meaningful trade." However, the U.S. still trades more with Russia than with countries like Mauritius or Brunei that did make Trump's tariffs list." Very interesting.
Trump tariffs are being slapped on imported cars resulting simply in more bad news for American buyers. Keep in mind, Trump is proclaiming these tariffs will "direct" U.S. consumers to purchase American made cars, such as General Motors and Ford. However, keep in mind, so many of the parts in American made cars are produced in other countries, all facing outlandish tariffs put on by the Trump administration. The end result--higher prices for American made cars as well.
Trump is destroying the American economy with the blessing of the Republican Party. And just as quickly, he is harming long standing relationships with our allied countries. On purpose.
To what end is this? I have been contemplating this the past few weeks, and it makes little sense to run our country into the ground. One objective is clear: for the Trump administration to be NOT accountable to anything, not to the people nor to our laws. It is like he is deliberately trying to destroy this nation, to prop up a new form of government--which is already emerging thorough constant illegal abuse of his executive powers. Our system of check and balances is no good without enforcement from law and legal authorities.
The first couple of weeks in office, it was clear Trump and the Republican Party's Project 2025 mandate was prioritized to attack programs directed towards diversity. Hatred is their driving force, and their main priority is to diminish the power of people of color in the this country. After quickly destroying programs which help marginalized communities, the Trump administration turn to yield tariffs like a nut waving a reckless machete. The stock market has been going crazy, with all time record lows. Food prices are at the highest then I have ever witnessed in my years of life.
Americans, all prices are going to go up. Clothing, food, steel, construction materials, EVERYTHING. Trumps economic theorizing that raises tariffs will increase manufacturing and production in Uniteds States is faulty, and reckless--and is even dismissed by some conservative economists. American corporations learned long ago to exploit labor and production by utilizing workers overseas, where they could pay meager wages, with little or no benefits, enhancing maximization of their greedy profits. Consumers, particularly those in the poor, working, and lower middles classes will pull back from buying, simply because they have no choice. Food produced and cultivated here will also go up in price, mainly because of the same driving corporate greed we witnessed after Covid numbers dropped. Such food corporations will not miss to appear impacted by tariffs, even if they are relatively unscathed. Yet, some food costs will simply go up due to utilizing certain modes of packaging or materials used in production.
Inevitably, the United States will have a greater gap between the "haves" and "have nots".
Is racial hate and white fear more important than democracy and having basic needs met such as food and shelter? Evidently, for many, it is more important than buying eggs, bread and having enough food for their families. The America of the past several decades is forever gone. Keep in mind, the rich will suffer no worry, including the wealthy Republican politicians so many MAGA voted for and revere. All they ever cared about was to get their votes from the electorate, yet some of these blind fools know this, yet continue to support such politicians. Hate is a powerful force.
