Here's the way the scam works.

-Trump implements tarrifs
-Companies raise prices to offset tarrifs
-Consumers pay the price increases
-Trump refunds tarrifs to companies
-Companies take money and buyback stock
-Stock prices go up
-Company execs make millions
-Consumers still pay high prices

Well, triple. Who do you think is paying for the refunds.🙃

So the companies we paid tariffs to are getting refunds. Isn’t that double dipping?”

We're only seeing a fraction of Trump's actual corruption. Why? The rest is "classified." For many years, I've warned that Trump would use the cover of "state secrets" to carry out his abuses of power. Now we have more reasons to worry.

It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. The powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal decline. Everyone has a theory about why.

This is a nightmare: the destruction of Florida's orange industry. Tariffs, drought, deep freezes and a bacteria that is destroying the trees. They have lost 95% of production since 2003.
3/4s of growers are out of business. This is the dangerous eco-future staring us.
