When are all these so-called make America great gain policies going start happening? There are Cleveland Cliffs steel mills in Riverdale, IL and PA that are idling (shutting down) and laying off hundreds of workers. How is that making America great again?
Maybe it’s bad management by the company. Steel workers might be overpaid and the company is unable to make a profit.
Right the tariffs instantaneously haven’t worked yet. Meanwhile poor management decisions and overpaid employees might have been the issue over the years.
Tariffs are never going to work. In the meanwhile, factories are shutting down and workers are getting laid off. Plus inflation and gas prices are still high. But firing federal workers, removing DEI and black history is the main focus under this jacked up administration.

It's kind of disgusting just how blatant they are with wanting him to fail... Like you love in the US and you just want the country to go to crap.

I can see Bob sitting at his kitchen table watching the news and every time another Trump deal is mentioned, he pounds his fist on the table and yells "DAMN!"
Country can't fail like he wants if good deals are made.
Yeahyeahyeah. And you MAGA trolls we're rooting for the country when Biden was in office. More deep thoughts.
Well yes. I'm not a moron. He just happened to fail miserably because he had no clue where he even was.
That isn't really the point is it? It's that you and yours were no different with regard to criticizing the Biden admin than I am now. But somehow my negative reaction means I want the country to fail but you didn't. Your objectivity is heartwarming.
We didn't have to root for Biden to fail, he did that all by himself.
My only ask of Biden was to not destroy the stock market. And to his credit, he didn't. But, that's probably the only single thing I can think of that he didn't screw up.
And....You will never see a Republican or Conservative root for the USA to fail. We might not like the person in charge, but we're not going to cut off our nose to spite out face. Unlike Democrats who root outloud for things in the US to go wrong so they can blame Trump.
Would you like to see the stock market reach new all time highs while Trump is POTUS?
You really should stop listening to urban radio.
April inflation report shows prices grew at slowest pace since 2021
Price growth has cooled, including in key areas like groceries, but analysts say Trump's evolving trade war has made it harder to get a clear read on the economy.

Dude your article supports what I’ve been saying. The article states that prices are increasing but at a slower rate. The bottom line is that they ain’t going down. The article goes on to say that the tariffs are creating uncertainty in the economy.You really should stop listening to urban radio.

If prices are to go down to produce the products, then labor has to give up the raises they received. You want cheaper prices then that’s what it will take or people will just lose their jobs.
We weren't looking for it to fail. That's for damn sure.
Dude, inflation always increases, so yes, prices are going to go up. That's nothing new. The good part is that they are going up slower than under slow Joe.
Exactly. As much as I detested Biden and his families illegal dealings with Russia, China, and Ukraine and wanted them all to wind up in prison until the sun no longer rose in the sky, I love this country and wanted it to succeed. Joe Biden is the biggest liar and deceitfulness filled individual and the most crooked and corrupt person to ever hold the office of President. It's a shame that he and Junior are still walking free and breathing good air.
With the exception of energy cost, gasoline, and some food products, once prices increase they they will not go down.
There are exceptions like incentives on vehicles.
That is why I have always said that the price increases are due to greed, price gouging.
These greedy so and so's have also been doing shrinkflation for decades and its continuing. The packaging of stuff is smaller when the price stays the same or even increase. But yet folks want to give these folks tax breaks.
If you were responding to my post, price gouging and shrinkflation has nothing to do with monopolies. Has everything to do with greed and there are no laws in place to protect that other than price collusion.
Are you claiming humans are greedy? Does that include you?
Oh but it does.
A responsible consumer will look to get the best bang for their buck.
Options and competition are what separates a free market system from a Communist system.
As long as there are no monopolies there exists a choice.
I know it does if indeed there is a monopoly going on. Due to President Taft signing the Anti-Trust bill in the early 1900s. But currently there ain't no monopolies in most typical consumer products that the products have been and increasing. The bottom line is that companies are raising prices even with without being a monopoly.
What is "greed"?
In the free market, isn't the goal to make as much as you can? To charge what the market will bare, as long as it's legal?
Prices will rise until the consumer decides their too high. It's the demand part of the supply/ demand curve.
Take the price of a ticket to get into a Disney park for example. The ticket prices have risen at a much higher rate than inflation, and they'll continue to rise as long as there's long lines to get in. Once those lines start to shorten or some other market event reduces park attendance, Disney will adjust their pricing. Pretty simple stuff.
Let me get this straight. Let's say a 20 oz. bag of Doritos in 2012 was $2.35. Now in 2025, instead of 20 oz. its is 16 oz. and cost now $3.25. That is not corporate greed? And you are fine with that? This has been happening for decades. Consumers get less and less in the bag or bottle and then are paying more.
No, I don't like it at all. I'm a consumer and want to spend less and get more like everyone else. But, I think it's much more complicated than chalking it up to greed. Maybe Doritos cost more to manufacture for whatever reason now? There's all kinds of links in the supply chain that add costs. Then you have a public's company need to deliver shareholder value through earnings, etc.
Is it greed when the govt raises taxes?
What do you think of Trump's plan to not tax tips, social security or overtime?
I think it’s good to not tax tips. SS, and overtime. However, if this becomes law, there will be no choice but to tax the wealthy. If that doesn’t happen and the middle class taxes stay the same, there won’t be enough revenue. Perhaps that’s why Chump is pushing these BS tariffs for revenue. But we all know the tariffs ain’t working.
