Post how Deplorable tariffs and other government initiatives of theirs are making your eggs, groceries, and gas cheaper (like they promised)

Examples welcome!

(If they're bullshit, however, it will be noted.)

I expect grain prices will drop. China will start buying more Canadian grain which will push grain prices down in the US. Then all the chickens that are dying from the Avian Flu will push down the grain prices too. There will be on one to work in harvesting because immigrants will be deported so that will decrease the market for food and that will push down prices. Farmers that can't sell their grain will not be able to buy food so that will push down prices. Of course there will be no eggs and food to buy because no one is producing it so everything will be great!

Our resident MAGA's won't read this, but for those who do, it's a very good synopsis/outcome predictor of Trump's last (2019) and next little tariff war.

• We estimate the tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China proposed to go into effect on February 4, 2025, would shrink economic output by 0.4 percent and increase taxes by $1.1 trillion between 2025 and 2034 on a conventional basis, amounting to an average tax increase of more than $800 per US household in 2025.

Thank you President Trump.....Biggly tax increase....

With High Prices Persisting, Trump Tempers Tone on Slaying Inflation

President Trump promised voters that, if elected, he would enact policies that would bring prices down on “Day 1” in office.

But three weeks into his term, Mr. Trump and White House officials have become more measured in how they discuss their efforts to tame inflation. They have begun downplaying the likelihood that consumer costs like groceries will decline anytime soon, reflecting the limited power that presidents have to control prices. Those are largely determined by global economic forces.

The shifting tone could allow Mr. Trump to reset expectations about how fast prices will come down as he pursues policies like tariffs and tax cuts, which economists say could exacerbate inflation.

Biden: “Told you so.”

MAGAs: “We still blame you for inflation.”

Biden: “You’re not very bright.”

MAGAs: “We are stable geniuses.”

Ah it's getting to the point of people calling Trump's bluff now. His latest is to place a 25% Tariff upon the the 25% Tariff he says is coming. That, for our math challenged MAGA's is 50%. If that happens, every steel product will now become unaffordable. Think of all the job losses...
Nah he's bluffing. I just wonder what lie he will use to claim "victory" when March 12th comes around.

US inflation worsened last month with cost of groceries and gasoline rising

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. inflation accelerated last month as the cost of groceries, gas, and used cars rose, a trend that will likely underscore the Federal Reserve’s resolve to delay any further interest rate cuts.

The consumer price index increased 3% in January from a year ago, Wednesday’s report from the Labor Department showed, up from 2.9% the previous month. It has increased from a 3 1/2 year low of 2.4% in September.

The figures show that after inflation steadily declined in 2023 and for much of last year, it has remained stubbornly above the Fed’s 2% target for roughly the past six months. Elevated prices created a major political problem for former President Joe Biden. President Donald Trump pledged to reduce prices in last year’s campaign, though most economists worry that his many proposed tariffs could at least temporarily increase costs.
