In the interview, Trump defended tariffs generally, saying that tariffs are “going to make us rich.”
Well he's not lying, except by "us" he means his billionaire friends and not the American people.
Oh, I can guarantee it will. You'd have to be as unutterably stupid as a Trump voter to believe otherwise.
Tariffs would make things more expensive, it would be like another inflation. Immigration will do the same. Less work force, and less people willing to work for lower wages.
But, hey the rich are richer.

At this point he could as well guarantee they won't raise prices, nobody gives any credibility to anything he says.
My MIL laughed because I've been buying n95 masks again and tuna/rice/beans for my crawlspace. I'm hoping I just have extra food and paper goods I won't need but my gut tells me RFK is about to willingly introduce bird flu into our raw milk diets or whatever and trump is going to make everything else go through the roof.
Fuck trump.
