(12,507 posts)There are exceptions like goods shut out: 100% tariffs on Italian pasta for example. Nevertheless, Walmart will sit on some nice fat profits if they can. Lower prices always was always a scam.

(886 posts)Trump promised to lower grocery prices. His tariffs did just the opposite. So now he is looking more closely at the damage he has caused and wants to go back to pre tariff prices. So in a nutshell, he is doing nothing to lower the price of groceries.

Then he brags about fixing it and his minions cheer.
