Tariff Impact in Produce Aisle

Suppliers of fruits and vegetables cancel orders to sidestep Trump’s trade battle, while grocers look to hold prices steady

Grocery giant Kroger said earlier this month it is attempting to shift its purchasing of produce and other products to avoid the Trump administration’s tariffs, and ward off further price increases in its stores. Fresh Del Monte Produce said in February it is prepared to alter its supply chains to cope with new tariffs, although expanding the countries from which the company sources avocados, bananas and pineapples could take time.

Costco executives said last week that about one-third of the sales in its U.S. stores represent products imported from other countries, and less than half of those come from China, Mexico and Canada.

Thank you President Trump for the inflation you are about to unleash. They were mad about Eggs and that wasn’t something planned.

Now the public can get mad at him for also making all food and non-food items unaffordable as well. 25% is just the start.

But will they? There’s a cognitive dissonance so deep and mysterious I think it’s supernatural. Did he make a deal with the devil to be able to weave a web so thick with deceit, in the clear light of day, such that his supporters would not see it?

Unknown. The public KNOWS he is responsible–as do the followers. The problem, as always, is very simple: They KNOW he failed but they refuse to hold him responsible because they want to believe anything else but reality. As publicly stated, he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and he would lose no votes. History will document the complete surrender of the idiot class to irrational denial of reality. No different than those who went to Jonestown and committed mass suicide. Note they did murder their children as well.

I tell ya, it’s supernatural.

Devil, no, but close.

Trump, via his consigliare Michael Cohen, made a deal with the pseudo religious Falwell family’s Chief, Jerry Jr., for Liberty University to hold a big event trans-substantiatingTrump into right wing Christianity’s “anointed of God” for the salvation of (white) America.

The spell was cast, and religious faith admits of no doubts.

Love that. Alliterative, too!

Billy Graham did the same thing for Nixon, leading him before his enormous congregation for annointment. Thereafter, the Southern Strategy was set. Trump is following Nixon along that path, but he won’t be removed by his own party.

Yup. Religious fever can ignore the observable and provable.

And the failed assassination attempt was leveraged as confirmation.
