8. There is no "COULD" about it...

... tariffs absolutely WILL raise prices on essential goods. And you can bet that corporatists will jack up prices far above and beyond the costs the tariffs impose. And consumers will take a drop kick to the groin AND the wallet. The wealthy who will benefit from the extortionate price hikes piled on top of the tariffs couldn't care less about the financial strain imposed on middle class families, and especially on the working poor already living from paycheck to paycheck.
Remember, all this is in service to the "obligation" Trump has been publicly reminded that he owes to Putin. And EVERY Republican is complicit in this obscene treachery. Even the dumb-asses that are about to find out the hard way how stupid they were to ever vote for Trump.
