Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise US prices and won't rule out revenge prosecutions

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

The president-elect, in a wide-ranging interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday, also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere.

Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning “things do change.”


Trump has threatened broad trade penalties, but said he didn’t believe economists’ predictions that added costs on those imported goods for American companies would lead to higher prices for U.S. consumers. He stopped short of a pledge that U.S. households won’t be paying more as they shop.

“I can’t guarantee anything. I can’t guarantee tomorrow,” Trump said, seeming to open the door to accepting the reality of how import levies typically work as goods reach the retail market.

1. Any fool who thinks this ass deserves a pardon is off their rocker.

2. What a surprise.

And I don't believe you can really blame the media for all of these idiots believing trump all of the time. They already lived through 4 years of chaos and "things changing" and you seriously have to be nuts to believe that he isn't a serial liar, so they shouldn't be a bit surprised by this and what is coming next.
