Had first one today on FB. You are blaming Trump and the voters for a tariff cost before [View all]

he has even gotten into office? There was a FB post showing a bill where the business had a line Tariff and the cost added into the bill.

I replied, you blamed Biden for the price of eggs and that had nothing to do with Biden but corporate greed. And so it begins.
