Well! We are going see prices jump up after Trump...

slapped higher tariffs on products from China. Remember, when he said that was a negotiating a "great" plan? At midnight the tariffs went 10% up to 25%. This not good for anyone, but the Trump crime family and those around them!

are creeping up higher. I'm also noticing stores have less items as before. China was the main country that provided such. I'm fine with that only if the USA bring back the manufacturing aspect . . "made in America".

That means the USA would have to pay USA's worker reasonable pay rate alongwith benefits, i.e. healthcare/retirement/vocation, et al.,

I don't see the greedy corporations doing that.

He enjoys hurting Americans. Especially when he feels like HE'S been treated unfairly. Go figure.
