Truckers have to pay more to deliver FOOD to stores. That prevents the whole 'affordability' Trump ran on and has since discounted as a hoax.

People have to refrigerate and cook food, and those costs will go up. That prevents the whole 'affordability' Trump ran on and has since discounted as a hoax.

The 'good' thing is Trump sees us peasants paying more taxes of fuels and he thinks that means he improved the economy because those taxes, like the taxes he calls tariffs, means more $ in the treasury for him to divvy up with his ultra rich buds in the forms of tax cuts and government contracts for him and them.

More stealing from the poor to give to the richest.
Once again, I quote a very smart immigration attorney I recently got to hear speak: "Fuck that guy!"
