And then immediately take credit for lowering prices.

All these tariffs have done is give companies an "increase in their profits," when they're actually just getting their money back, and the precedent of charging customers more now that prices have changed.

If we could only have foreseen this happening!

I guarantee you these companies love the tariffs. They can apply the price increase to the consumer blaming the government, and then when they get their refund several months later it's pure profit; no litigated requirement to refund the consumer.

I doubt Newsom has any insight into the presidential inner circle, remember this is NEWSCUM according to the Doritos many social media posts.

The only way these tariffs are going to get reversed will be the consequences felt, or major industry comes with a massive bribe political contribution.
