Oh but they said they got 20 ways to skin the cat vs just temporarily tariffs. Rinse and repeat. When these get deemed illegal too, I wonder what team RedHat will dream up next. Or is it just a ruse to keep the real criming under the radar? Probably the later. The sons of king dipshit have their dirty hands in everything. Make Hunter look like a fucking saint.

Tariffs Schmiriffs!!!!

Costco is lowering prices on several everyday staples—including eggs, coffee, and household paper products—as the warehouse retailer tries to pass savings on to shoppers amid easing inflation.

Executives said during the company’s latest earnings call that Costco has reduced prices on a range of basic grocery and household items, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The company said it aims to be “the first to lower prices and the last to raise them,” a strategy designed to reinforce its reputation as one of the lowest-cost retailers in the country.

Don't forget they were one of the first big companies to sue the gov for tariff refunds.

Looks like we'll finally be getting some new trade investigations that are needed before Tariffman can use his other powers to put in tariffs.

About time he does something legal

The power of tariffs are remarkably powerful…

�� President Trump launched Section 301 investigations into 60 Countries for using modern slavery

"If we find that countries have been involved in unfair trading practices, like subsidies, excess capacity, allowing goods made with forced labor into their countries, we can quantify that harm to US commerce and then try to resolve that issue with the country — If they can't resolve it or don't resolve it sufficiently, you can impose a tariff or a fee etc."

Pretty sure the baboon has said that this is so complex that nobody could unravel is tariff bologna, because there's hundreds of billions of dollars if not trillions of dollars, involved and despite a lack of legality it would be curtains for the Treasury.

Imagine a 6x bankrupt business man using his own 'gut' feel on tariffs with sponsorship by idiot Peter Navarro, using the entire US trade system as their guinea pig. What could go wrong? All these other bullshit claims about slavery in other countries doesn't mean jack shit to Joe America cause he voted for a guy who said day 1 would be about lowering prices, groceries and cheap gas.

Guess what ....all 3 are way the fuck higher including piss poor job increases, jobless claims increasing and a crisis of debt building daily. This is literally going to be the end of this administration in both the midterms and the next year during impeachment for ALL of this lame ass administration.

The SAVE act is dead ....the senate won't pass it, and without it, the GOP IS DEAD.

Such fucking morons to believe you can tax your way into prosperity...when Joe America is paying the taxes! Idiots

Florsheim, who makes the shoes Tariffman loves to wear (poorly) and gift to the "boys" he likes, has filed a tariff refund lawsuit.

U.S. fourth-quarter 2025 GDP growth was revised down to a 0.7% annual rate from the initial 1.4% estimate, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. This slowdown from the third quarter’s 4.4% growth reflects reduced consumer spending, exports, and investment. Full-year 2025 growth was 2.1%, with revisions influenced by a 43-day government shutdown.
Q4 2025 was even worse than we thought. Thanks, Tariffman

That's hilarious. Almost as funny as those shoes look on Marco Rubio.
