People old enough may remember Trump making noises about lowering grocery prices way back in 2024.
Well, now we’re tracking how well that’s going — just in time for his tariffs to kick in.

See how tariffs could make your next car cost thousands more
From raw metal to engines, components travel all over North America before they’re put into cars. What happens if they’re taxed at every stop?
