Preznit Toddler learned a new word that gets him SO much attention every time he says it.

Hey now, all those companies had to raise prices in 2021-2023 for perfectly legitimate reasons that had nothing to do with yachts.

It’s the DEI virus that Obama programmed into Hunter Biden’s laptop.

He will find someone still left over from the Biden admin that he can blame.  He’s doing it with Pete and the flight crash.

Good. That means a lot of those rednecks driving around in jacked up F-850's will have to shove more money into their tanks. Good. I make a decent enough income but a lot of these fuckers will be screwed by this and other things that orange shithead wants.

He also doesn’t care.

It’s like the big orange man has no plan and no clue about how what he does affects others.

But, but, American can drill and refine it’s own oil... right.. RIGHT??

It would also be fun to watch Cananda turn the power off for the entire northeast of the country!

I’m pretty sure there was a presidential candidate who specifically wanted to do something to stop companies from doing this kind of artificial price-gouging... but who’s to say. 

Actively destroying the country. And people voted for it.

Man, I sure hope this happens. Inflation will go through the roof! Trump will blame it on DEI or immigrants or progressive cities or windmills or something. MAGA degens will believe him while they’re unable to afford to live.

And nobody - NOBODY - raises prices for nonsense corollary reasons like the oil industry. Tidal wave in Philippines? Gas gets more expensive. Russia invades Ukraine? Gas gets more expensive. Gas is too expensive? Gas gets more expensive.

Considering the way Trump has been shooting his mouth off regarding Canada, if I were in the Canadian government stopping the oil flow would be the first consideration the day after the 25% tariff was enacted.  Trump’s administration may ignore it, but I can guarantee all those gun-toting ‘Muricans with their…

Also, they can raise them and point to tariffs as the cause, even if it’s a flat-out lie, because consumers are largely incapable/too lazy to know for sure. And materials subjected to 25% tariffs will nonetheless rise in price by > 30%, because again, consumers largely suck at math and dont care enough to crunch the…

And that’s IF Canada still sends its energy. They could just stop oil exports and the only place that has the type of oil we refine is Venezuela.

Bring it on. Every extra $50/month the die-hard MAGA’s have to spend on gas is $50 they can’t spend on Elon’s/Trump’s/Milania’s/Pastor Bob’s bitcoin scheme. 

Fun Fact: Tariffs cause non-impacted products to raise their price because they can raise them and still be cheaper.

That recession we’ve managed to stay ahead of for the past six or so years? It may be inevitable. Tariffs are a tax. They lead to reduced business activity (recession) and inflation. Just remember, Obama handed Trump a great economy. He destroyed it. Biden handed Trump once again a great economy. He will destroy it…
