Nov 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is preparing broad exemptions to certain tariffs in an effort to ease elevated food prices, the New York Times reported on Thursday, citing three people briefed on the actions.

The change would apply to certain reciprocal tariffs Trump announced in April, including on products coming from countries that have not struck trade deals with the administration, according to the Times.

Short article at post time.




The markets took a dive yesterday so time for some more manipulation.

1. Let them eat pate

2. But I thought they were already lower, Trump said.

3. Have they considered going back in time to find some way to prevent their idiot boss

from imposing any of his idiot tariffs?

[speak easy]

4. (Generally) once prices go up, they do not go down.

There are exceptions like goods shut out: 100% tariffs on Italian pasta for example. Nevertheless, Walmart will sit on some nice fat profits if they can. Lower prices always was always a scam.

5. Seriously. Does he think these grocers will lower prices?

Hell no, they'll just reap more profits for their private equity shareholders. Nixon, at least, tried to implement price controls.

6. Trump doesn't know jack shit about food chains and how they rape and pillage

Yeah I'll bet Dillon's (high prices on everything) will just suddenly have a fire sale at the store because of a bumbling idiot like Trump spewing out some nonsense.

7. Trumps MO

Create a crisis, then ride in on a white horse and partially solve the problem he created! What a joke!

[Puppyjive]

8. So let me get this straight

Trump promised to lower grocery prices. His tariffs did just the opposite. So now he is looking more closely at the damage he has caused and wants to go back to pre tariff prices. So in a nutshell, he is doing nothing to lower the price of groceries.

9. If the American consumer isn't paying the tariff tax,

why do we need tariff exemptions in bid to lower food prices ? Just a simple question.

10. He creates a problem

Lets it fester for a while, then rides in the save the day by reversing whatever lame and destructive policy of his caused it in the first place.

Then he brags about fixing it and his minions cheer.
