> >cost of fuel and transportation goes up > >cost of everything goes up exactly. you get it, trump gets it. drop energy costs, transport costs drop, things that require transport (most everything) overhead cost drops. and guess what? if we make it in america transport cost across the pacific also drops.  tariffs will jack up the prices on chinesium goods since they're the world's factory. so mostly random trinket & electronics bullshit. the price increase will be tempered by these lower energy costs. within a year (business moves fucking fast in capitalism) i expect either a us business or us installation of a foreign business will necessarily begin manufacturing on us soil. because beaners are being ejected it will be state of the art & robotics/ai heavy, also good.  i expect trump will also axe tons of regulatory and environmental bullshit. it's so bad you can't get anything done. this will also drop prices.  people who say "muh tarrifs bad" are taking a (((globalist))) point of view. they're right, tariffs hurt the global economy generally if that's the goal, max-global efficiency. but america is not in the business of taking it up the ass to do what's good for the world. got to fill your own cup first, worry about america getting its shit together first and then worry about the world.
