Donald Trump says he can’t guarantee tariffs won’t raise US prices,
Donald Trump said he can’t guarantee that his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won’t raise prices for American consumers and he suggested once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned.
I mean... yeah. I'm not in the USA and I will probably also feel the effects of whatever tariffs are placed. It seems like he's already preparing excuses for when things don't pan out. (Not to mention the immigration issue and so on)
I'm sure he is.
Every president in recent memory has lost control of Congress here in the US at the midterms, and it's because of nonsense like this. Trump's next term will be no different. No president since LBJ has made a good-faith effort to actually do what they promise, so one has to have plausible deniability to try and survive in Washington.
And I can't guarantee that if I swing my arms around and walk towards you, you won't get hit.
But he says he can guarantee that it won't not raise prices.
I'm sure going through his enemies list and raising taxes on virtually every single item most Americans purchase is going to improve the prices of eggs, I guess?
Gonna keep that Samuel L. Jackson clip ready for all the FAFO idiots that voted for this shit: "Yes you did! YES. YOU. DID!"
Trump says he can't guarantee that shooting yourself in the foot won't hurt
These are just excuses for doing nothing. The pre-election chatter doesn't matter because he's elected.
