Not everyday items.

I just ordered $200 in groceries and hardly anything has gone up at all. *I* can provide pictures.

Also, prices are still below what BIDEN'S near double-digit inflation costs. 

When the price of things gets THAT far out of hand, THEN you can whine about it, like you DIDN'T when Biden put us into a 
recession.

Gas is still near half what it was when Biden was President, and we all know how gas prices affect the prices of EVERYTHING.

Are you 100% positive that the tariffs are what's making these specious prices go up?

Nope.

Cause and correlation.

Just because prices go up at the same time something is "going on", like higher tariffs, does NOT necessarily make it the tariff's 
fault.

Gas prices are going up... prove it's not THAT that's causing these 38% price hikes.

Also... WHAT is 38% higher? Probably something people buy every few years.

If we can survive BIDEN'S runaway inflation, gas prices and "other (fix this)

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
