Trump's new tariff proposal

Trump’s new tariff proposal targeting Europe could hit your grocery bill hard — and help his own family

September 10, 2019
By Igor Derysh, Salon

American consumers could soon be forced to pay double for some of the most desirable European products if the Trump administration gets its way.

The Trump administration has proposed a tariff of up to 100 percent on $25 billion of European products, including cheese, wine, meats, olive oil and pasta, CNN reports.

...

Retailers say that the tariffs would result in soaring prices that could cripple thousands of American businesses. Roughly 14,000 specialty food retailers and 20,000 other food retailers could be hit by the tariff, according to the Specialty Food Association.

Step by step. Inch by inch.

It seems the tariffs are becoming a tool to take the country down permanently in more than one way, but as quickly as possible.

His base is in love. They are devotees that find comfort and solace in the Authoritarian, Big Daddy who has it all under wraps. So, to me, that is why if he says he is making America great, that is a magic spell of words that deflect the fact that he is doing exactly the opposite in every way possible and will continue to do so.

The rest of us are able to see that the emperor is naked....yuck!

No words left. The gamut has been run. Abundant supply now depleted.
