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."

New name for Joe - Chicken Little.

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.”
We’ve yet to see the true tangible impact of tariffs in some of these economic reports.
DUH TDS ensues
Just like Brandonomics, yes?
I talked to Ron Paul many years ago and asked him WHY democrats want things that are bad for America and Americans... He said “They only care about power and control”
Really they’re just traitor Freepers w final stage TDS. Nothing “free” about them, these “nattering nabobs of negativism”
“Broken Clock” Owen, w another Eeyore hot take.
You were wrong about every aspect of our B2 mission in Iran, predicting funerals, downed B-2 stealth planes, the end of Trump’s presidency — but all of a sudden we’re supposed to believe you’re credible?
You might be right someday. So are broken clocks.
I guess I don’t understand. I quoted what the prevailing projections are for PCE. You’re at liberty to quote the prevailing projections for PCE, too. But you didn’t do that.
If you have your own calculations for such things, that would be great. Be sure you include the same categories or it’s a bit pointless.
Well, that too..
Sure wish white boy Joe would have been in Cincinnati the other night.
Joe was in Congress, he got thrown out for corruption and a murdered intern.
