Trump's 'Gonna Get Slammed Eventually' —Morning Joe Hopes Tariffs Will Raise Prices
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

On today's Morning Joe, the panelists expressed the fond desire, cloaked in analysis, that prices would eventually rise—to Trump's detriment.

MSNBC's Ali Vitali nudged Franklin Foer of The Atlantic to echo the show's prevailing sentiment:

"We've yet to see the true tangible impact of tariffs in some of these economic reports that we look at. But analysts do say it's coming. And this is a guy who loves to say promises made, promises kept. On this, it doesn't necessarily sound like he's going to be able to, right?

Love Vitali's concluding "right?" to Foer. C'mon Franklin. Tell me prices will go up and Trump will break his promise. I'm beggin' ya, buddy!

Franklin Foer of The Atlantic scratched their energetic itch:

"For now, companies have swallowed so much of the cost. They haven't passed them on fully to consumers. But every law of business and economics suggests that over the long run, that's not something that they'll be able to sustain. So there is going to be a point at which prices are going to start to tick upwards. And [Trump's] gonna, he's gonna get slammed with that eventually."

For all of their economic ignorance and overall stupidity, these guys should be in Congress.

I still think mourning Joe looks like the albino kid in “Deliverance.”
