      American goods are not getting more expensive. the tariffs are always on imports, i.e. goods are getting more expensive in the US.

        They’ve got a point though: we should no longer be buying U.S. goods for that would

        • reward this openly hostile behaviour.
        • play into Donnie’s fantasy that tariffs will do anything to the U.S. trade deficit on goods.
        • continue, if not deepen trade and technological dependency on a country that proved to be as fickle and unreliable as its diapered disaster of a president.
