It all makes sense if you simply understand that tariffs are a magical device used to simultaneously enrich a nation by making other countries directly pay them, a common sense leverage tool to use in negotiations, a financial tool that will help grow American production and wages by producing more things we don’t have a comparative advantage in producing, and an instrument of justice that will stop other countries from exploiting labor. Thank God himself that we have Donald Trump in charge to show us that tariffs are the answer to life, the universe and everything.

It is true that higher prices of fruits and vegetables will mean Americans will buy less of them. Stores will stock less of them. There will be less waste.
Processed foods from a grocer’s perspective is a much better product to sell. Easier to stock, higher margins. Good on MAGA for willing to take on the burden of higher prices to help out their local grocery stores.

tariffs are unnecessary since the water that would have watered the crops later this year has already been released by the Army Corps of Engineers

from a maga perspective i can see all this as an effective way to strike out at elitists who prefer fresh to processed food
it does make a bit of sense
growers will no longer be under pressure to find campesinos to pick crops at the right time...if some of the vegetables are a little wilted it won't matter once it goes through processing
it's so crazy it just might be brilliant
mapa make america processed again

The DEA seized 43 lbs of fentanyl crossing the northern border last year (as compared to 21,000 at the southern), so we want to stop that while also making us super rich. The riches will come from Canada paying for the tariff, not us, but we’re probably going to stop the tariffs in a couple of months when Canada ensures us that the 40 lbs of drugs will stay in Canada. Also, we’re going to make the tariff only 10% for energy resources instead of the standard 25%, even though Canada is definitely paying, just trust us. When Canada finally convinces us they’ve got those 40 lbs of fentanyl under control, we’ll lift the tariffs, foregoing untold millions of riches flowing through our external revenue service, using that carrot to renegotiate a better trade deal with Canada, replacing the one negotiated and signed four years ago by the same president we have now, who at the time called it “the best agreement we ever made.”
