Bad news beef lovers, prices will continue to rise in part due to Trump's tariffs

[TangoNoCash]

Eat moar chiken. Seriously though $7 a pound for ground beef is pretty crazy. I got t bones and rib eyes for that price a few months ago. Not a fan of Trumpflation so far.

 

[SavannahMann]

He did not.

He was quite proud of how his inflation was transitory, and people should just not buy groceries if they couldn't afford it under his leadership.

It's why he was a one and done president.

So Trump actually did campaign on lowering Grocery prices on day one.

Even Trump acknowledged that grocery prices were a major reason for his November win.

Probably he did.

No one believed him, but he probably said that stupid shit.

You seriously listen to MGT? AND Trump?

Wow.

At least we can accept that inflation is lower than the average over the past 4 years, which is good, and has not yet turned negative or to zero, which would he bad.

Wait until we carbon tax that shit.

Y'all ain't seen nothing.

I'm fulling expecting big price increases. Trump is a lying blowhard.

Again it just isn’t.

And it is climbing. Oh wait. You mock people for believing Trump and then turn around and push more of the propaganda. Interesting tactic. Of course he lied. Nobody believed him. Even though we totally said he would do it if he was elected. But thanks to him we have high inflation.

Rich beef eaters need to pay their fair share for destroying the environment.

They won't like it, but it will happen.

But it is...

What data tells you this is not true?

What numbers are you using?

Ok...

But still lower than the average for the last 4 years.

Which is a win, even if inflation isn't as low as we would like, it's still progress.

 

[Ikari]

Oh I see lol. You are fine with inflation and high prices as long as politicians dont promise to address it. I think you libs should review your posts before hitting the 'post reply' button.

Well that goes both ways. As I remember during the election MAGAs bitching about egg prices and grocery prices and how expensive things were getting, Trump saying he'd lower prices day 1, etc. But when his anti-capitalist tariffs start kicking in and raising prices....nothing.

Don't pretend you have a high horse, that poor thing is long, long dead.

Actually my horse is doing just fine. How did democrats handle Bidenflation? They passed the Inflation Reduction Act which did nothing to address inflation and actually made it worse. Sorry but Liberal Big Lies dont solve problems, they create them.

Here I found you a Fox News link.

Producer prices surged more than expected in July, spurring inflation concerns

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the producer price index jumped more than expected in July, spurring renewed concerns about inflation's economic impact.

www.foxbusiness.com

And that doesn't include volatile products like food. Food surged a lot more than 0.9%.

Vegetables are up nearly 40%.

Tariffs and deportations seen as contributors to rising prices and fewer immigrant workers

Experts say higher wholesale vegetable costs and an economic slowdown in Texas could be signs that Trump's immigration policies are hurting industries.

www.nbcnews.com

So tell us again how good things are. Oh wait, we must continue making those claims so nobody mentions the Epstein Files and how Trump thought a Teenaged girl was for him.

Epstein, Maxwell accuser recounts Trump making late-night visit at financier’s office

A woman who has accused Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell of sexual assault is sharing an experience she had meeting President Donald Trump.

Typical.

Awesome! Hope.it never reaches the level that we saw then. Right?

Yep, trump lies. Quite frequently.

Why does MAGA believe trump's serial lying makes him fit for the Presidency?

People want to believe the lies. There are women who refuse to believe that their abusive partner isn’t going to change this time. Just because nothing changed the last twenty times is no reason to think he isn’t serious this time.

Use this supplement and you can have the body of a man or woman twenty years younger than you are.

People want to believe the lies. They need to believe. It’s a lot easier than looking in the mirror and saying that guy is a fool for believing.

Actually. The average of the last four years is in the rear view mirror. Trump is standing on the gas in the inflation race determined to make it higher than it ever has been before. He wants to be number one.

For sure. But your reading and posting of Fox News happened today...

But Trump is a loser. He'll stand on the gas and still never reach Biden's highs of inflation.

He might try, but he'll never actually make it, because he never does. No one actually believes Trump will beat Biden (except for Trump)

We had 4 years of Trump, and he didn't have close to the inflation Biden did. He might get closer this term, but it would be magic if Trump could match Biden's numbers. I'm just not believing in Trump as hard as you do.

 

[Metric Mouse]

Why does MAGA believe trump's serial lying makes him fit for the Presidency?

No idea. MAGA voters are a mystery.

Millions of people voted for Biden, with all his lies, so it seems, as odd as it sounds, that most voters prefer liars.

I'm not one of them, so I can't explain it.

Biden is not at all in the same league as trump when it comes to lying. Remember, trump is a documented serial liar with tens of thousands of lies attributed to him during his first time in the Oval Office. Even trump supporters/MAGA admit here that trump lies about as often as he opens his mouth/sets his pudgy little fingers to typing. ("Oh, trump was just trolling/playing the libs.")

So, my question remains unanswered: Why does MAGA believe trump's serial lying makes him fit for the Presidency?

 

[Pyrite]

As if the sky high cost of beef isn't enough to swear off red meat (I rarely eat it anymore), there doesn't seem to be any relief in site. In fact, due to shrinking herds in the US and Trump's tariffs, the price of beef will (most likely) continue to rise.

But hey, we can sell more (non existent) beef to Australia now!

Trump's taxes aka "tariffs" are bad enough. Mother Nature might also be abetting the reduction in beef available to consumers via the reappearance of the screwworm.

It will be interesting to see how - or whether - trump acts to prevent screwworms from entering the USA via the southern border.

 

[Metric Mouse]

Biden is not at all in the same league as trump when it comes to lying.

Ok.

He just holds the record on inflation.

So, my question remains unanswered: Why does MAGA believe trump's serial lying makes him fit for the Presidency?

Ask MAGA. Or Joe Biden voters. They both prefer liars. And both elected lying assholes.

But one had higher inflation than the other, and that pissed people off.

Again, Biden is way out-classed in lying by trump. Surely you're aware of trump's more than 30,000 documented lies in his first term?!

So, there's no comparison, just contrast, between Biden and trump.

Oh, dear, you brought up the I word: Inflation. And not just Inflation as a result of the pandemic, but Inflation deliberately induced by those T words: trump's tariffs. Tsk, tsk (another T word!), it's probably bad luck to mention the I word at this particular moment. One doesn't want to tempt the gods....

Why is comparing Trump's inflation to Biden's bad luck? Would it be a bad thing if inflation returned to Biden's levels? Or a good thing?

 

[Pyrite]

What are you trying to say?

That you don't believe trump is a documented serial liar?

That you don't believe trump's tariffs are causing and will cause inflation to rise?

That you don't consider trump's tariffs to be taxes on consumers?

 

[Metric Mouse]

What are you trying to say?

That Trump, as dumb as he is, which is very very dumb, has had lower inflation than Biden, who was clearly even dumber.

And that the level of inflation under Biden was harmful to Americans.

 

[Pyrite]

That Trump, as dumb as he is, which is very very dumb, has had lower inflation than Biden, who was clearly even dumber.

Aw, you've forgotten that Biden inherited trump's pandemic and the resulting worldwide shortages....

But, on the plus side, you do seem to have let go of the fantasy that Biden is in the same league as trump when it comes to serial lying. Good for you!
