    Let's itemize Trump's whimsical actions leading to more inflationary pressures.

    • the ill-conceived Tariffs have heavily impacted the rising cost of
      • electronics
      • agricultural products
      • consumer goods
    • the whipsical Iran excursion has skyrocketed
      • the price of gasoline
    • ICE crackdown on immigrants has increased
      • the price of agricultural products

    Nearly three-quarters of the nation’s goods are moved by trucks, yet the industry is facing a dire shortage of truck drivers. Estimates peg that shortfall up to 80,000 drivers — yet the Trump 2.0 is removing thousands of qualified drivers from the roads.

    It’s part of Trump 2.0's effort to crack down on immigration and immigrant labor. In the West, more than a third of drivers are immigrants — mostly Sikhs from India — and immigrants make up about 20% of the national trucking workforce.

    Now, the administration is forcing the California Department of Motor Vehicles to cancel the licenses of 13,000 immigrant drivers. DMV noted that, “All the individuals … had been granted work authorization by the federal government and were legally present in the United States at the time their license was issued.” But that’s not enough to appease the whimpsical 79-yr old convicted felon.

    This unnecessary crackdown is not only disrupting people’s livelihoods, but could further slow deliveries and drive up the cost of products that are delivered by tractor trailer. It’s not just California, either. ICE is “targeting truck stops, weigh stations and immigrant truckers as they drive behind the wheel” throughout the Midwest.

    As a result, prices surely will rise for products delivered by truck, which is precisely the opposite of what Americans want after years of persistently high inflation have made life increasingly unaffordable.

    Once again, we see there’s a price to pay for the administration’s misguided fixation on immigration. And once again, we’re seeing immigrants scapegoated for political point scoring.

    Not just gasoline. It apparently is hitting a lot of commodities including urea/fertilizer, helium, LNG, sulfur, and aluminum.

    according to a study written for J.B. Hunt by Noël Perry of Transport Futures.

    Amid Trump's immigration crackdown, 614,000 drivers might exit

    I wonder if the lack of farmworkers to pick crops is having an impact on grocery prices...

    To every ill-conceived whimsical move by Trump, historically, a TACO (Trump Again Chickening Out) move ensues.

    as it relates to the Iran boombing---resulting in the blockade of the Strait of hormuz---this is the TACO

    TACOing also requires more gaslighting from his cabinet members

    Trump 2.0's Treasury Sec, Bessent: Iran war, not trade, may delay Trump‑Xi summit.

    consider the source, he
    • put his 30-yr Wall Street experience on the line, just to placate emperor Trump, by insisting that tariffs are not taxes
    • lied that Canadian PM had walked back his criticism of the 79-yr old convicted felon, only to be called out by Carney that "he meant what he said in Davos"

    I don’t really do the x‐twitter and youtube thing so what I know about tinman is when he tags me. Adoo is awful though. A NewscumCalifornia shill. It's sad. Guy doesn't post anywhere else on these forums. At least tinman is a Rockets fan

    You can measure his desperation by the outlandishness of his demands.

    He grew up a nasty spoiled brat and will die a nasty spoiled brat. As long as cowards keep giving him what he wants they are his enablers.
