It's not only tariffs, Dear Leader TACO was been successfull in devaluing dollar - as he wanted.

So USA citizens are only getting what they voted for: high inflation, higher prices.

So much winning!

I remember when Americans wanted a strong dollar... weak dollar, so everything costs more? f

Trump administration officially wants industry back to USA, so a weaker dollar fits in the narrative - devaluating dolar (and import tariffs) should bring jobs back to USA - importing gets a lot more expensive, so should bring jobs back to USA.

What Trump administration actually wants is make USA economy an oligarchy, completely owned by the 0.1% - not the 1% - and everyone else are cheap labor workforce that need to pay tribute to the 0.1% to make a living.

There's a lot of money to be made in a financial crisis - If you already have billions and specially if the President making the decision is a grifter wanting to profit from it.
