The Trump White House rarely admits defeat. It prefers the posture of inevitability: broad shoulders, big hands, and economic proclamations delivered with the rhythmic confidence of a real estate listing. Thursday morning, that posture cracked.
Buried in a late Friday news dump, Donald Trump issued a sweeping executive order exempting more than 100 food items from the reciprocal tariffs he once insisted were essential to safeguarding America’s economic security.
The order itself makes clear why: domestic demand, production capacity, and trade negotiations all made these exemptions “necessary and appropriate.” In other words, the policy had become politically and economically untenable.
There was a reason to raise food prices and it will stay up because these companies are greedy and won’t lower the prices back.
Yea they’ve already removed all the value sized products and shrunk down the remaining products. We’re stuck buying 25-50% less food for 25-50% more money
