Be outraged over Walmart using tariffs as an excuse to raise prices on EVERYTHING before the tariffs even start.

So exactly the same thing people have been possed about since 2020. Kamala partially ran on limits to price gouging. And I'm pretty sure you probably argued against that and that Trump would lower prices. Now we have this still and a new excuse for companies to use, and they'll all probably use it.

And THAT'S outrageous.

As was insinuated in the post. It's going out of your collective way to be outraged.

Had to quote again to respond to your additions.

I understand the whole purpose of your original post on this subject was that we should all just not be concerned over the corruption because of the posited false and inaccurate whataboutism.

I’m not even outraged. There is plenty of other things about Trump that concern and piss me off a helluva a lot more than this. This whole plane deal is penny ante BS compared to the other self dealing he’s doing with the same people “donating” the plane.

As far a Wal-Mart and tariffs, you’re just swallowing and aping Trump’s tweet and the MAGAsphere. For a supposedly non-MAGA guy you’ve been largely verbatim toeing the Trump party line lately.

And I agree with what Mugatu said about it for the most part.

No. I think it is going to be "donated" to the library, and it will be used by the "library" which means Trump and Trump family/confidants etc.

Plus, guess who funds the lions share of a presidential libraries operating costs?

Sort of like what happened with "inflation" a couple of years ago? Where was your outrage then?

And I agree with most of what Mugatu said about it for the most

I know it is a lot more complicated than my short generalized post.

It was all Biden's fault. Remember? Lots of outrage at Biden

Yep.

We saw it with COVID when supply chain issues really did limit production. Industries realized they could limit production and blame it on worker shortages. They could reduce their input price while raising their output price. Combine that with an influx of cash in the market so people would complain but still buy stuff and poof, inflation.

Trump attorneys draw judge's ire by saying 'state secrets' keep them from sharing details on Abrego Garcia's return

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis said the government’s refusal to provide certain information in the case has been “an exercise in utter frustration.”

Christian nationalist pastor Douglas Wilson is planting a church in D.C. to properly "calibrate the Christians" working in the Trump administration.

Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska said the U.S. government halted cyber operations against Russia for one day in February as President Trump was trying to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, confirming CBS News reporting at the time and undercutting statements of denial from the Defense Department. https://cbsn.ws/4mbsxRs

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%.

So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Elon Musk and his DOGE minions wrecked the Social Security Administration for no reason at all.

That's not good. Kentucky got hammered with severe weather today. They are lucky it didn't get real ugly.
