Either that or Lowes and Best Buy saw an opportunity to hike their prices and blame BAD ORANGE MAN for that.

The price of manufactured items in America FELL last month, and it was near zero for the entire past year.
AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAID ABSOLUTELY ZERO PERCENT OF THE TARIFFS.
Now, let’s see the Lefties/Chicom sympathizers in the MSM explain why the tariffs are so ruinous.
