I want to thank Trump for helping me lose weight

I find that I eat out less now, and when i buy groceries, I buy cheaper things like chicken instead of beef which is healthier for me. I also eat smaller portions.

Thank you Trump for making me eat less because prices have gone up so much

Tarrifs are having the opposite of the intended effect - they are hurting businesses (and also consumers)

According to FT:

Gabriel Ehrlich, an economic forecaster at the University of Michigan, predicts the price of domestic and imported vehicles will increase 9.6 per cent on average over the several years it takes supply chains to adapt to Trump’s tariffs.

“Using 2024 prices this would raise the average cost of a vehicle by roughly $4,500 if profit margins stay the same,” he wrote in September.

Ehrlich said he also expects tariffs to trigger a decline in domestic car production, with the output of light vehicles falling by 313,000 units, or 3.1 per cent, annually. Light vehicle sales will fall by nearly 780,000 units a year and exports by 320,000 units, he predicted.

According to fool49:

Trump's policies will lead to job cuts in Michigan and the automotive industry. High unpredictable tariffs, make it hard to do business, when you have long product cycles and global supply chains. Nobody might shed a tear for the big three automakers, but hundreds or thousands of small suppliers are also hurting. Tarrifs are bad for both businesses and consumers.

Thank you Trump.
