      Big problem is retailers are going to lower selling prices now that people are used to paying more, they will just put it on their bottom line.

      Too late. The market has set a new price point. They will charge what we are willing to pay.

    3. He always knew but punishing specific people / companies / nations was more important than helping America.

      Now he’s just decided he needs to give the base something so they don’t revolt any more than they already are.

      Whatever you think about MTG, she generally has a good grasp on what the MAGA base is thinking – because she started out as one of them – and her defection isn’t a good sign.

      We’re back to COVID and 2002 recession numbers. Republicans are great at destroying the economy. Also release the Epstein and Trump files!!!

    6. He didn’t all of a sudden realize that. It was on purpose to enrich his billionaire buddies.

      He didn’t “realize” anything, he always knew. But now they have to pivot to regain enough support or stamp out complaint

    8. Oldest president vs. oldest president in 2024 really showed the “he’s too old” crowd back in 2016 was a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites, and American citizens earned everything they’ve been through since.

      He didn’t find out, he already knew.

      Dropping the tariffs is supposed to be a distraction from everything else that’s going on.

      Release the Epstein files.

      just like that trump tries to divert nation’s attention from trump giving bill Clinton a blow job.

    11. Sad part is that arsehat could have literally just played golf and never done anything and would have been considered a good president. See the Republican Party up for years. Instead he breaks everything and is a lame duck president who is taking the GOP down with him. Good riddance!

      ROFL.

      its too late… the inflation is cooked in now. drop the tariff now just means everyone along the supply chaon pockets more… they do not lower prices.

    13. And the tariff payers never get back the money they spent, Trump keeps what he made off them, and he gets to play the hero by ‘fixing the problem’

    14. First republicans told us the tariffs were actually a tax cut. Then, when nobody believed that, they admitted there would be some pain. Then Trump continued to try to lie that inflation was over and prices were down. Now since nobody believes that either, Trump is actually ending tariffs over food and coffee.

    15. Doesn’t this undermine his argument to SCOTUS? They could easily say , if you are already removing a few tariffs that are costly to the American people, why not remove all of them?

      Something something Sleepy Joe?
      Groceries are the lowest ever in the history of the planet…something something.

    17. He’s worried about Thanksgiving prices but he doesn’t understand how chain supplies (or anything) works.
