Article from BI normalizing #Trumpflation from tariffs. One of the 3 key points:

"Analysts expect the overall impact of tariffs to represent a small percentage of total spending."

Golly gee, if only the MSM had reported that post-COVID inflation under Biden was also "only a small percentage of total spending."

Let alone that even conservative economists said Republicans increased inflation by blocking effective legislation in the Senate and House.

WARNING: #Trumpflation ahead

Markets react to credit downgrade and near-certain #inflationary consequences of #tariffs.

Mini-Putin is just going by his typical playbook: get rich while simultaneously screwing his investors (or, in this case, taxpayers).

US retail sales barely rose last month after consumers splurged in March to front-run tariffs

In the meantime, #tariffs remain much higher than they were before #Trump’s second term. When Trump ran for president, many economists warned that his promise of 10% tariffs on every other country would hurt the #economy. Even after all of Trump’s backpedaling, a 10% universal #tariff is still in place. Duties on specific goods, such as cars, are even higher. Prices on clothes, appliances, video game consoles & everything else made in other countries will likely rise as a result.
