100 Days Of Economic Humbug

Well, just how much of this economic humbug and tin-horn partisanship do they expect us to put up with? We are referring to the fact that the Trumpites were out in full force this morning monkey-hammering Amazon for its indication that it might note on the price tag of its merchandise the part of the total charge attributable to the Donald’s 145% tariffs on imported goods from China.

As it happens, about 80% of small household appliances like microwave ovens are imported from China. After the Trump Tariff, a mid-range $100 unit is likely to be re-priced at $245—with $145 of that total marked as “the Trump Tariff” under the proffered Amazon scheme.
