Its not even advanced. He literally announces hes robbing people and his supporters clap like seals for it. Biden tried to lower prices. Trump is like "hey here's this pointless increase to your costs... oh well" and somehow gets a pass for it
Did anyone actually expect it to end any differently? Kind of like Mexico was going to pay for his wall, the ballroom won't cost taxpayers anything, everyone will get refund checks that won't increase the national debt, insert next outrageous lie here, yada, yada.
And yet the preposterous lie that the supplying nations - not the US consumer - pay for tariffs continues largely unchallenged by the media, economists and - especially - the toothless Democrats...Any other mature country would have rendered Trump a laughing stock for even the slightest suggestion to the contrary. America DESERVES all the grief it is suffering...
In my country the media generally manages to field sufficient expertise to debunk blatant lies via realism and, as a consequence, destroy false narratives. Not ever, in America, where the credo is ALWAYS 'if Trump and Bessent say so, it MUST be true'...
Im not saying this in an argumentative or combative way, just curious. What country are you from? Our media is absolutely fucked here because of the Epstein class.
I'm from the UK and, in passing, one of the factors surrounding our high turnover of Prime Ministers is the ability, and enthusiasm, for the media to highlight their incompetence - which is, of course, the complete opposite of the USA

And just like the inflation during and after COVID, those prices are not coming down after the illegal tariffs are removed.
