Any company that can replace a tariffed product with an American made is going to flourish. Can’t get tomatoes or avocados, twinkies and Ho-Hos are made in US bakeries and are the perfect replacement !!! Pay no attention to the price increase. They never go bad !
This deserves some good coverage: tariffs giving “cover” for other price hikes that are unrelated to trade.
The gas station I pass on my way to work has raised the price of breakfast sandwiches by like $1.50 in the last month. It's affecting things that aren't even imported

This reads like a fire signal to alert the more oblivious members of the Supreme Court that we are on the precipice of everything falling apart.
Whew, this conclusion from the Fourth Circuit:
"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos."
