President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office as part of his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs.

    Sellers in the US need to do a truth in Taxation so Americans will know they are paying a tariff and how much, regardless of which party implemented it.

      I’m going to make a prediction.

      An elected representative will blame post-tariff avocado prices on Mexico and advocate violence.

      Edit: I forgot the important part. People will believe it en masse. To your excellent point.

      Here me out, increase the prices by 30% so tariffs are covered and 5% for the shareholders.
