Hey stupid!
Corporations like GM, Nike, and others ARE INTERNATIONAL, and they HAVE NOT raised their prices since the Trump tariffs began. [/quyote]I'm so glad to learn that prices have not gone up - that corporations are simply absorbing the tariffs they pay and losing all their profits.

Thanks for hipping me to this - it helps to have an economically savvy guy like you in my corner.

Now, go get your shine box.

The new tariffs have forced China TO DEVALUE THEIR CURRENCY in order to absorb the Trump tariffs for themselves, so there's no need for those US corporations to pass ANYTHING along to their customers! 

I remember when chinee currency manipulation was a bad thig, fruitcake.

And that shatters your idiotic belief that a business and a country has no other alternative but to raise prices when they get hit with new costs.

I said we pay the tariffs - and we do. China doesn't.  And prices will soar. You can screech about two companies - both of which are looking for a new relationship to get out from under tariffs. But we pay the tariffs. And prices are going up due to the tariffs. Dollar Tree is closing 1000 stores.

Unlike you, countries like China are smart enough to realize that they've already lost 8.3% of their exports in the last year, AND THAT'S BEFORE THEY'VE EVEN AGREED TO A DEAL ON THE TRUMP TARIFFS!

Again, you used to agree with Trump that chinee currency manipulation was a bad thing.

A word to the wise that you'll undoubtedly ignore. 

You finally got ONE right, you loud mouthed buffoon.
