Rodolfo @rora54.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Now, through Tariffs, which are taxes passed on to the American people, those cheaply made goods are more expensive. These tariffs are now affecting soft goods in the form of food. Look at your grocery bill from a year ago. Has it changed? 231
Caw Yar Bluff @j-leslie3k.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Paul Krugman "a primary motivation for tariffs was that they empowered Trump personally. They allowed him to punish governments he didn’t like, demand subservience from other countries as the price of lower tariffs, and offer waivers and exemptions to companies that put money in his own pocket." 9411110
David S. Cohen @theotherdavidcohen.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Trump likes things to happen because he says so. He disregards any legal or constitutional restraints on his power and appropriates powers that are not his. Krugman has him pegged. 010
MsGnomer @lesleych.bsky.social · 25/02/2026It’s never been about building the US economy. It’s the usual grift, bribery, payback, and lining the already fat pockets of the truwp family. He can’t bear anyone else having the power of the purse. 030
Curious Doubter 🌍🕊️ @curiousdoubter.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Trump's tariffs are complied with because U.S. Customs and Protection collect tariffs and U.S. Customs and Protection are part of the Trump Syndicate. 010
