Another aspect of this. The Trump operatives are very clear in their goal to replace regular IRS taxes with tariff taxes as much as possible. Why is that noxious? Among other things IRS taxes are progressive and spare poorer people an unfair proportional burden. Tariff taxes hit the lower and middle classes the hardest proportional to their income and the wealthy won't feel any pain from them at all. Soon to follow from Trump's absurdly named Liberation Day -- massive tax cuts for billionaires. Are you getting the theme by now?

No. They didn't vote for most of Trump's insane policies. The egg prices brigade certainly didn't vote for perhaps decades of severe economic pain for supposed pie in the sky eventual rewards. The cult did vote for the man and whatever he wants to do though. The USA is becoming more like Putin's Russia every day.

Recession for sure. Depression / Stagflation? Could happen. Thank you maga!

Remember the incredibly great economy Trump took over from Biden. Good growth. Low unemployment, Low inflation. Booming stock market. If Trump had simply just gone golfing we would be in much better shape now.

Toddler level debate tactics.

What's even worse, for the maga cult, it's not about sacrificing for patriotism or the nation, it's about blind worship of their demi-god Daddy Trump.

Worse than the worse case scenario.

Not literally. In effect, yes.

Consumers end up paying for them, so do the math.

Absolutely. He lies about everything and when called on it, he doubles down with much bigger lies. In a way this is a failure of American democracy. The voters let him get away with that, indeed rewarded him for it.

The reality is that his Musk Doge fascist big ball boys cut out cancer research. Nobody voted for this.

At this rate no republican legislator will be having a town hall ever again. Yes, Trump won, but almost nobody voted for what he is actually doing. Bait and switch. It's time for Americans to take to the streets.

Sorry I don't speak whatever bizarro world language you're speaking.

Well, it's been a good run U.S.A. All empires fall but did if have to be by way of SUICIDE?

Liberation day? Yeah, sure. Liberation of typical Americans bank accounts, wealth, and economic future. The oligarchs will of course buy all the ruins for pennies on the dollar.

It had already started but yes now it will be on steroids., Travel bookings to the U.S. already way down. Expatriation FROM the U.S. is also a real trend now. It's not only the moronic economics policy but also the fascism.

His tarriff policy is about as elegant and refined as his YMCA double jerk dance.

Shifting to where the U.S. does the low value grunt work and China takes over the high value tech and services. In Ttump's vulgar vernacular, he thinks he has all the cards but that is arrogant delusional buffoonery. The entire world will simply dump the U.S. The damage he's doing is PERMANENT.

National economic suicide. The biggest tax rise for U.S. consumers in history. Too bad he skipped his classes at economics school. The idiocy is truly epic. Yet the maga cult will stick with him till the bitter end.

Doesn't hurt my feelings. When I hear that stupid insult, I know the level of the person hurling it.

Trump when asked clearly doesn't even know what stagflation is or that his insane policies are creating high risk for that. What do people expect from a "stable genius" who couldn't even make a profit from casinos?!?

Sorry Charley. The low information "lower my egg prices" voters did NOT vote for massive tax increases, crashing markets, weakened dollar, allying with Russia and North Korea, attacking western allies, high risk of ruinous STAGFLATION, and years or decades of PAIN. Perhaps the bigliest BAIT AND SWITCH in history.

Congratulations. A small but important step to defend democracy against the maga fascists and explicitly anti-democracy, anti constitution, anti rule of law currupt oligarchs who want to turn the USA into Russia/Hungary.

Well, I'm not stunned. I saw this coming. Trump inherited the best economy in the advanced nation world and is intentionally ruining it. That was so obvious. The enemy within -- the flippin' white house. His low information cult thought they were voting for lower prices.

I would pay to not go.
