We've got a our economy locally in the long run we're already seeing inflation starting to surge let's just take a look at everything he's saying let's break it all down so donald trump is asked about rising prices the recent inflation numbers not good here's what donald trump says let's play it mr president because of these tariffs who do you think voters should hold responsible

Prices will go up short term, but then they also will go down and farmers will be helped by this.

We're already seeing farmers being screwed, not just in the form of Donald Trump's tariffs and the harm that that's causing, but by Donald Trump's destruction of government entities that help support farmers who voted for Donald Trump. I guess the leopards are eating their faces or they're effing around and finding out right now. Here, Donald Trump talks about prices going up.

But what if the prices go up?
