    I agree that it’s probably a sensational article. No matter what the numbers actually are - it’s too early to draw a line to Trumps policy decisions.

    It’s cherry picking, but I’ll point out the 15% increase in the cost of eggs due to Avian flu. I mean, if we blamed Biden for inflation over the last several years then we can place this at Trump’s door step surely?

    In any case, I look forward to seeing the MAGA-splaining in the coming months.

      Is it too early? Considering that a substantial portion of our imported goods originate from a country subject to a 10% tariff, wouldn’t this policy inevitably lead to significant price increases for those products?
