Trump Claims Food Supply Emergency, Suspends Tariffs on Fertilizer Imports To Reduce Food Costs

[ClemsonInAtlanta]

Can one of the board intellectuals such as @fatpiggy or @TigerGrowls explain to me why Trump would suspend tariffs to reduce prices, as Trump told us that tariffs lower prices and increase domestic production?

So Trump is admitting that he caused a Food Supply Emergency? I mean, I guess I'm shocked by his admission, surely Biden or Obama caused this.

Good. Tariffs are very, very stupid.

Mfer lurches from one crisis to the next.

He's suspending the Biden tariffs, which raised prices. His tariffs lowers prices

He knows that his supporters are either unable or unwilling (or both) to make the connection that he caused it without him explicitly saying “this is my fault”. While Trump is clearly not an intelligent person, especially as his brain rots from dementia, he is highly skilled in manipulation, conning, and failing upwards.

Didn't farmers beg for fert tariff relief in early 2025? Took him until now to do anything about it.

It got much worse after he FAFO'd in Iran. A lot of fertilizer comes through the Strait of Hormuz (who knew?). Its almost like he wants to drive the farmers out of business or or has no idea what he is doing.

Ok dummy. Glad you asked to be educated. Domestic supplies of fertilizer are short which could affect the food supply so Trump correctly is removing/reducing tariffs to encourage foreign suppliers to send more to the US.

Youre welcome for the lesson in common sense.

So reducing tariffs encourages global trade which encourages competition which results in lower prices? So if reducing tariffs lowers prices does that mean increasing or implementing tariffs raises prices? Interesting questions…

Increasing tariffs is to protect domestic suppliers ability to sell in the US squidward.

So it’s government intervening into the market in an attempt to control costs? Sounds like communism

Good logic.

Here is another interesting question. If tariffs are bad, why have so many nations, including so-called allies, had them for years against the US?

Subtle, strategically, and reasonably placed tariffs make sense. What this mockery of an administration did with tariffs is inflationary and destroys an economy.

Will you let us know when the economy starts being destroyed?

No,.. Communism takes total control of the markets in an attempt to gain total control of the population,... See the difference?

The fact that he didn't blame them is a huge sign that he is slipping mentally.

In a stare down against himself no less.
