The US cost of living crisis has eased somewhat, but low-income Americans are still struggling after years of high inflation and interest rates. Their situation could worsen if Donald Trump keeps his promise of slapping hefty tariffs on America’s three biggest trading partners: cnn.it/41Sqav0

Yup...don't piss off Canada with dumbass tariffs. He tired that b4 and they didn't last. Put tariffs on the oil being shipped there,expect gasoline to go up by at least $1/gal plus you can't pump gas if you don't have hydro from Ontario

Fox News settled for $877 million dollars in the first of two lawsuits and they will lose the others because they invented all of their election was stolen BS - all of it.

That was entirely for ratings and their personal politics. Also, this is why Tucker Carlson was unceremoniously fired. None of them, all the way up to Rupert Murdoch, believed the election was actually stolen. That was reported by pretty much everyone but those 3 companies.

Unfortunately many of them felt the price of eggs and a gallon of gas were the most important issues without understanding how little the President affects them. There is a great chance that those items will be the least of their concerns in coming 4 years.

Let’s have some context about “high inflation and interest rates”. How about inflation at 13.5% and inflation at 21.5% in early 1980’s? Interest rates at less than half what they were then and inflation topping out at around 9 is painful but seems like child’s play in comparison. Perspective helps.
