        It depends what you’re comparing against. Down relative to the very recent surge? Sure. If you zoom out on that chart you’ll see they’re still 2-4x more expensive than they were in the early 2020s.

          They are beneath when Trump took office. I think that qualifies to say that he has vrought the price down.

          Still a fashist asshole, just to make that clear. But I like to stick to facts in my criticism.

      Even if manufacturers brought jobs back from overseas, who the fuck is going to do them? We already have a labor shortage coming as the boomers are hitting peak retirement and the commander in queef won’t let anyone in without money.

        Let’s not forget the very real fact that exports are a major part of demand. Imports are a big part of supply. It’s econ 101. Tarrifs disrupt both. It’s… Not a good idea, ever.

        It isn’t rocket science. Its so dull and dumb it was literally the background to Ben Stein’s “Anyone… Anyone…?” Bit from Ferris Bullers Day Off.

          How is a “labor shortage” a bad thing? You can ask for more pay

          Asked and answered.

          What the oligarchs want is slaves, not empowered workers who know their worth.

    “The Globalist Wall Street Journal has no idea what they are doing or saying. They are owned by the polluted thinking of the European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of ‘screwing’ the United States of America,” Trump raged in a post on Truth Social.

    They’re owned by Rupert Murdoch

      He also hates the EU and influenced so many people to achieve his goal with the Brexit.

      Trump is just a fake lying rat

    They really should install a McDonalds PlayPlace at the white house. Keep him distracted with nuggies and Melania in a Grimace costume doing the YMCA dance.
