But Europe is paying 3.5 to 4 times what they were paying when they bought from Russia. And that hurts a **** of a lot worse.
The western sanctions on Russian oil is hurting Russia, but literally destroying Europe. They're totally ****. The reason that Germany agreed to export its jobs to the US is that they can't afford to run their factories anymore, thanks to the Coupkraine debacle and the Russian sanctions.
Anyone who believes that the US can stop Russia from selling its oil is retarded. Even Iran was selling its oil under the most absolute embargo the entire west could muster up - and this was back when currency exchange was an enormous complication. BRICS has made things easier. Russia produces more than triple Iran's output, and that oil is desperately needed in the global market.
Trump can't keep fentanyl off our streets, and he wants to block 10% of the entire global petroleum production from finding a willing buyer?![]()

I was only on the mall. I didn't go to the capitol building. I didn't care about more speeches, which is what I figured walking down to the capitol would be about. I only went there to be counted from the satellites or whatever, because the election was being stolen and I wanted my shadow caught by the counters of crowds. No one in the crowd, including me, had any clue that the deep state criminals in Trump's DOJ were putting together a false flag under the direction (or with the cooperation) of Pelosi and others.

You ae going to pay the tariff for the foriegn sourced product that goes into the refrigeration skids I help build. The grocery store is not going to eat that.
@Zeets2 thinks it s great we have collected so much tariff revenue. It's just getting diverted to deport the very people we need to build factories and staff them. And probably a significant portion of that tariff revenue is getting diverted in a corrupt manner for bogus contracts to capture the evil tomato pickers gang.
It is absolutely disgusting that citizens are getting thrown to the ground, handcuffed and hauled away because the stupid assholes can;t verify if they are a foriegn looking citizen or not. We live in a police state now.

Americans pay the tariff. You can eat Trump's dick and lick his scrotum all day long. You are still going to have to pay it.
Wait for it. Numbers don't lie.. People do.
Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistician who made the jobs report. Claims it was rigged and corrupted. Numbers do not lie. Obviously he may be maniplulating the inflation number somehow to.
Have you learned NOTHING from the corrupt crew of liberal partisans that covered up for the demented *** of Biden for 4 years?Labor Department Admits Hundreds of Thousands of Biden Jobs Were Fake
Heritage Foundation May 19, 2025
The Biden administration claimed to have added almost 400,000 jobs from July through September of last year, but new data released this week suggest none of those jobs ever existed. Despite constantly gaslighting by the mainstream media, Americans knew the economy was in poor shape and these latest numbers prove it.Month after month, the government bean-counters under former-president Biden published overly optimistic estimates for everything from job growth to the size of the economy, only to have those numbers routinely—and quietly—revised down later.Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) produces estimates for the number of nonfarm payrolls in the country, as well as revisions for the last two months’ estimates. Under Biden, these revisions were abnormal in magnitude and direction, being revised down with unusual frequency.

How does it benefit the US when we were spending hundreds of billions of dollars to give ILLEGALS free hotel rooms, free food, free healthcare, free smartphones, free travel, free education, and free debit cards? Is your brain SO warped that you think it's cheaper to continue spending that money in perpetuity instead of paying a one-time, one-way cost to throw them out of the country?
This IS NOT Trump's fault! If you want to pin the blame on someone, put it on Biden, Harris, Mayorkis AND EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT who is helping illegals hide from ICE that make it more difficult to capture and deport Biden's illegals!
Someone as myopic and uneducated as you clearly are can't understand the fact that the US has the largest, strongest, and wealthiest market in the world, and THAT is what will force foreign countries to absorb most or all of the new Tariffs that Trump has imposed. And if those products DO see price increases compared to American made products, THEIR SALES WILL DROP SIGNIFICANTLY! That's called the free market, and anyone who has ever taken a single course in economics would know that! If those tariffs were ONLY hurting US consumers, THEN WHY WOULD ANY OF THOSE FOREIGN COUNTRIES GIVE A **** ABOUT TRUMP'S TARIFF? According to YOUR illogic, foreign countries wouldn't lose ANY sales, and the US consumer will be forced to pay higher prices on everything imported and the inflation rate would go through the roof!
Why hasn't that happened, genius?

If Americans are paying that $150 BILLION DOLLARS of Trump's tariffs over the past several months, then why hasn't the inflation rate increased dramatically as every ignorant Democrat politician has promised would happen? If that $150 billion was coming out of the pockets of Americans in just a few months time, INFLATION WOULD HAVE SKYROCKETED!
And how ignorant do you have to be to believe that "numbers don't lie" when you have the head of BLS actively lying to help prop up Biden and Harris just prior to last year's election by claiming there were over 400,000 new jobs created in the last quarter before the election when NONE were actually created?

Apparently!
You stupid liberals are trying to argue about a ONE-TENTH OF A PERCENTAGE POINT that inflation has increased in a month, when you obviously had a mouthful of **** during Biden's reign when he took the 1.4% inflation rate that Trump left him with AND INCREASED IT TO 9.1% IN JUST A FEW MONTHS, yet you didn't say BOO about it then, did you? Of course, you didn't have the Hate Trump Agenda working for you then, huh?

AI Overview
CPI report April 2025: Inflation rate eased to 2.8%
The US inflation rate, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rose to 2.7% in June, up from 2.4% in May. This increase, reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on July 15, marks the fastest pace since February. "Core" inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also increased, rising 2.9% from the previous year. The June data reflects the initial impact of President Trump's tariffs on imported goods, with prices for items like household furnishings and appliances showing significant increases.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Headline Inflation:
The overall CPI increased by 2.7% over the past 12 months, a notable rise from the previous month's rate.
Core Inflation:
Excluding food and energy, the core CPI rose by 2.9% annually, indicating underlying price pressures.
Monthly Increase:
Prices rose by 0.3% in June, a faster pace than the 0.1% increase in May.
Tariff Impact:
The increase in inflation is partly attributed to the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, with prices of goods like household furnishings and appliances seeing the most significant jumps.
Federal Reserve:
The Federal Reserve is closely monitoring inflation, and the June data suggests that it may need to hold interest rates steady.
Future Outlook:
The next inflation update, for the 12 months ending July, is scheduled for release on August 12.

And why do you think Trump is forcing those new tariffs on foreign countries, you moron? He's forcing those huge multi-national corporations to relocate HERE IN THE US, especially on highly vital manufacturing like computer chips, steel, pharmaceuticals, and AI development. Those businesses were forced out of this country by the high taxation/high costs of manufacturing here in comparison to China, India, or other 3rd world countries.JohnnyYou » 06 Aug 2025, 5:33 pm » wrote: ↑ Except you don't understand you are paying the tariffs yet.
