    … and now corporate partners have raised food prices on everyone.

    The removal of tariffs should allow these corporations to lower their prices but they won’t … because those prices have now been normalized and will never go down. The corporations will take the savings and keep prices high.

    That was the reason for the original tariffs … that was the reason for removing them.

    They gave corporations tax breaks to save them money … then gave them an excuse to raise prices and funnel even more money into their pockets.

    They’re Making American Great Again … for a very small group of really wealthy Americans
