It'll never happen. Trump's M.O. is to talk tough, make threats, but take little meaningful action and then capitulate when the negotiations begin. We have seen this from the Obamacare fiasco, the tax cut for the rich, Korea and Helsinki. In the end, he will simply declare that he has succeeded without accomplishing anything. In other words, business as usual in the tariff department.

As long as you're ok with the massive price increase in US made stuff too. Raw material costs are up. Those just get passed on.

It may even cover a fraction of the increased prices.

Hmm.



I've seen no price increases. In fact we just had Amazon Prime day. We got millions of price cuts.



MSM is telling the Trump haters what to think again.

Unrelated to politics, but many items I had in my cart "for later" showed price increases the day before Prime Day, then "dropped" back to their regular price on Prime Day.

Maybe you don't know how to use Amazon. I think they have a help section.

Right, but then prices will skyrocket as production is greatly reduced.

Oh **** already, are you kidding me? Go ahead and put an item in your cart and save it for later. Next time you go back and look at your cart, if the prices of any of those items went up or down, they list the out for you to see. Day before Prime Day, a bunch of items went up drastically, on Prime Day they returned to the previous price. A lot of these were items for sale by 3rd party vendors, not Amazon directly. So there, there is YOUR help for Amazon, sorry I can't help you for your **** poor attitude.

Its like people cant even get past their political bias and have a rational non-pissy conversation about ANYTHING.

True. Building a 3 br house costs $9K more due to Trump's tariffs of Canadian lumber.
