Reps. Bacon, Khanna will introduce bill to kill Trump's coffee tariff...

[douglas9]

Reps. Don Bacon (R-Nebraska) and Ro Khanna (D-California) plan to introduce a bill to exclude one everyday product from President Donald Trump’s tariffs: coffee.

Their bipartisan legislation would exempt coffee products from any tariff imposed after Jan. 19, 2025 — the day before Trump came into office, according to draft legislation obtained by The Washington Post. That exemption would apply to roasted and decaffeinated coffee, as well as coffee husks, skins, and other drinks or substitutes containing coffee, essentially rolling back the White House’s tariffs for coffee products. The bill could be introduced as soon as Friday.

1. Trump will surely take credit for it

And Sell shirts with his evil face on it that says making coffee cheap again...

2. The coffee tariff is such a stupid tariff. What American coffee growing industry does it protect?

3. None -- it's pure spite. Kona Coffee is a niche market & acquired taste, grown on one subtropical island...

…in quantities that can never satisfy the size of the Mainland market.

4. I know. It's so very obvious it's the "king"'s revenge and nothing else.
