So basically, tariffs are not stopping businesses from importing goods and they also have not caused any notable increase in inflation.
It takes time to move operations back to our country.
I imagine that a lot of companies front loaded their inventory in preparation for the tariffs. Now that they’ve blown through their inventory they need to refill their warehouses. If the products they are producing cannot be sourced within the country, they will need to go back to their original sources.
It’s going to take a while to change our dependence on foreign goods.
(Also, the tariffs have been so “on and off” that it must be a nightmare to try to plan for production.)
RINO publications finding just the data to support their claims. Zzzzzzzzz.
This probably has to do with the way they’re accounting for our administration of Venezuelan oil.
CNBC is a rat propaganda operation disguised as a financial news network.
They don’t mention that the trade deficit is 94 percent higher than the lowest monthly number in 19 years which was November 2025.
This data means nothing. They are clearly rejiggering how they calculate and the prior month had far less. Now this month has more. When it smooths out over time you will see a trend. But right now they are just writing stories because they need to fill the space.
Most traders will be expecting that this is a one off that offsets the previous month. And the traders will assume that the next month is lower.
If the trades are correct it means our economy is growing gang busters. If we are breaking trade records with tariffs then people or companies don’t care about price.
Exactly correct.
However, if Conservatives decide to sleep through these attacks, we will lose the Mid-Term.
Instant counter punch required - EVERY time.
what they seem to go out of their way not to tell you is in November, 2024, the trade deficit was $78.2 billion or $22 billion/40% higher than year over year...

How can a "balance" "soar"? Millennials and Zoomers can't write.
