“Highest level since February” means nothing when inflation is only 2.7 percent. How do we know that tariffs are working? Because we are taking in billions, but the price of imports are GOING DOWN, meaning that countries that depend on our products eat the tariffs. Tariffs are working extremely well.

What a joke "meaning that countries that depend on our products eat the tariffs."

It is consumers who pays any increase. Hence the inflation. Not good.

Pay attention. Do you know what an import is? The price of imports are down. Do the math. They eat the tariffs.

Oh please now I know your poor math skills too. Lawyers and related people seldom are good in Maths.

Go check with AI first and then I will explain.
Go watch videos of Scott Bessent as he fumbled explaining Tarriffs to congress. I guess you watch fox news. I don't.

Did you even take a walk at Walmart and compared the prices from 6 months ago.
