And yet the doom and gloom of increased prices in line with tariffed amounts aren't happening.

Fortunately, for many Americans, their real wages are going up and tax burden is going down.

1. Prices are going up

2. Trump has chickened out of a lot of his promises

I’ve said from the beginning that this was all about the ccp. I was never shocked when trump paused tariffs on other countries.


I’ve further went on to saying I envision a norther/central American manufacturing powerhouse.

Thos was 3 months ago when thethe was responding to me.

Maybe his wife gave him permission, or maybe he felt he could intellectually keep up... but that was it

I seek an update. This is all about the CCP! Why do we keep letting the CCP off the hook?

Love to see what’s in “Profit” as this is typically an accounting measure that has limited impact to cash flow. But whatever you guys think you know it all and yet

Companies are taking a small part of it but the largest component absorbing the tariffs are the manufacturing nations. Eventually you guys will learn….or use the excuse that years of product ws purchased before liberation day.

Record amounts of tariff collections. No material price changes to consumers. Who told you this would happen?

Despite the decrease in profit, GM's Q2 2025 earnings still surpassed analysts' average profit expectations. GM attributed the decline to the tariffs and noted that the company is actively working on mitigating the impact through cost reduction initiatives and potential adjustments in manufacturing locations.

From GM - so basically the point of tariffs and yet again limited to no impact to the consumer.

It’s a tax!!!!

Cost reduction initiatives sounds like job cuts to me...
