Some posters must make shit up because the truth doesn’t work for them. They misrepresent what other posters said or did not say.
I have said since day one, Trump would be a disaster for this country. I am being proven right every time Trump does something or even opens his mouth. Being anti-Trump never meant I believed everything other politicians said or did overall.
The posters who believe everything is 100% left or 100% right, are, well, morons.

From bananas to toys, these 5 charts show how much costs have risen since Trump’s tariffs went into effect
The Fed’s Beige Book survey in August said all regions were seeing tariff-related price increases, spanning sectors from food and retail to manufacturing and health care, with many businesses reporting they’ve started to pass those costs on to consumers.
Overall, Americans now face an average tariff rate of 17.4% — the highest since 1935 — an increase estimated to cost households an extra $2,300 in 2025, according to the Yale Budget Lab. (These estimates include tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which remain in place while the court challenge is pending).

I shouldn't have to explain, but I will, that Canada (for example), THE largest exporter of cattle to the USA, accounting for somewhere in the realm of 40-45% of USA imports, is itself experiencing a surge in beef prices.
You would think that if a good is tariffed, the exporting nation would retain more of its product and experience a glut and falling prices at home. That doesn't seem to be the case with Canada, which seems to be experiencing it's own national shortage, due to the same conditions as the USA. Remember all those big fires in Canada over the past 4 years or so? Kind of an indicator of how things have been going for Canada, weather wise.
Now, one thing I might opine that this could be the result of global climate change: shifting weather patterns causing prolonged multiyear drought and heat and over much of the northern hemisphere, along with spreading diseases like bluetongue and screw worm. . Beef, being the most input-intensive source of protein, is the canary in the coal mine and first to experience scarcity.
But that's just speculation.

THUGR, this was from your link
Now, in my long years of evaluating data, I would say that there's no DISCERNABLE trend in inflation post-tariff, other than to say that it hasn't gone down.
But, when has it EVER been 2%?. Given that the inflation rate wobbles quite a bit, the recent small uptick is well within normal variation, and only someone with an agenda and a very narrow microscopic focus would call it significant while ignoring the huge hump around 2022.
Economic policies take months or years, sometimes DECADES (like offshoring and killing Glass Steagall) to show up. If there's going to be a real discernable effect it should show up in 6 months or so, but so far the data's just not reflecting anything.
Give it time, son, and you may have something to talk about. Right now, it's just not there.

Inflation and Tariffs: Inflation has picked up since the tariffs were announced, with consumer price index data showing outsized increases in tariff-sensitive categories, including beef. The average tariff rate has increased to 17.4%, the highest since 1935, costing households an extra $2,300 in 2025.
Your long winded posts with you latching on to something, and completely getting it wrong are classic Signym. The other reasons you quote for high beef prices don't mean shit. This is not complicated. You don't need graphs or water shortage statistics to figure out what Trumps tariffs are doing. First, you have the price of something, in this case beef, add the cost of the tariff onto the product. In this case beef.
Even a child knows if you add 25% to the cost of something, then its cost goes up 25%. I'm laughing here because this is so simple. Again, even a child knows if American companies are paying the 25% tariff, some of that cost is passed onto the consumer; still laughing. By the way, in America it is called a tax. Trump raised everyone's taxes by raising the cost of everything they buy.
I can't believe how much time and energy you've put into two pages of this thread, arguing and defending Trumps tariffs. All the while saying they aren't killing American companies and consumers. He raised the price of everything, for business and consumer alike that has a tariff attached to it. Which is everything.
By how much did he raise our taxes? By the different tariff amounts attached to each product you buy or pay for. And more and more of those higher prices being picked up by our companies are passed onto us. I'm still laughing comrade, not really. This is a fucking nightmare.
Now, a tariff adds that amount onto the cost of a product. Regardless of other factors that may increase a price. A 25% tariff adds 25% to the cost. It's a sales, a consumption tax on the consumer. There's nothing to debate lass. If you think there is, ask a child to explain it to you.
And just a reminder. Trump is giving 2 trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top .01 percent. Where is he getting the money to replace his tax cuts for the rich? From tariffs, i.e. sales, consumption taxes of course. Also, by denying healthcare to millions, cutting NASA's budget by 47%, and so on and so on.
You know it takes a real moron to give an idiot an important job. And you did just that.

America saw ‘essentially no job growth’ last month, warns Moody’s, and any roles added were in three wealthy states
With official labor data suspended by the government shutdown, analysts are leaning on private sources—and they show a weakening jobs market. Moody’s Mark Zandi said September saw “essentially no job growth,” with gains limited to health care, education, and a few large states, while ADP reported payroll losses and Glassdoor noted slowing wage growth. Economists warn that without Bureau of Labor Statistics releases, the Fed is left making policy decisions through a “keyhole view,” raising the risk that conditions are worse than markets currently assume.
Trump didn't like the numbers, and he doesn't want anyone to see more. He was trying to block any more reports that weren't coming from his people. The shutdown helps with this.
Hey, here's a good topic, the job market. You can enlighten us all on how Trumps tariffs are helping the country with job creation. And I'm don't mean AI. That was happening way before Trumps current term and maybe mostly a job killer in the somewhat near future. But not yet.

U.S. Cattle Inventory Smallest in 73 years
Feb 2024
USDA’s January and July Cattle Inventory reports, released toward the end of each respective month, provide the total inventory of beef cows, milk cows, bulls, replacement heifers, other steers and heifers, and the calf crop for the current year. With drought and high input costs compelling farmers to market a higher-than-normal percentage of female cattle, the most recent cattle inventory dropped to lows not seen in decades. This Market Intel will provide analysis of the Jan. 1 inventory, which will set the tone for cattle markets in 2024.
So, who was President in Feb 2024?
Theoretically, Biden.
Notice how beef herds rebounded under Trump 1.0??
NOT A TRUMP PROBLEM, NOT A TARIFF PROBLEM.
Man, you've got Trump Derangement Syndrome bad, THUGR.
Are you gonna answer my two questions about the Dem shutdown and the ACA?
