16 Nobel Prize winning economists are predicting that a Trump victory would set off what they call an inflation bomb. They say it would cause lasting harm to the global economy.
That video was from June of 2024, so I'm shocked. I'm shocked I tell you that now Trump voters are learning that they are screwed. that these tariffs that Donald Trump's imposing on Mexico and Canada and Europe and Asia and basically everywhere. When Donald Trump gets bad, he imposes a tariff. And guess what? It's an economy killer. It's causing prices in the United States to skyrocket once again.
It's inflationary. You know why? Because tariffs are inherently inflationary. They are a tax on United States corporations.
that are importing things and they pass on the cost to consumers by increasing their prices also it results in retaliatory tariffs by foreign countries making the overall economic situation very very grim you didn't have to be a nobel economist to see this coming but 16 nobel economists during the election did say that trump would cause a quote inflation bomb
But I guess corporate media told us that we weren't supposed to listen to experts. And I guess the MAGA Republicans have made experts like a curse word to even say the experts feel a certain way. So for whatever reason, voters didn't listen to them. Trump voters were like, that ain't gonna happen. We're gonna, let's tariff them and let's tariff them.
Well, the inflation bomb has now come to our shores. Like a miracle, it ain't going away. and just take a look right here. If you could even get some groceries right now, because if you're going to grocery stores and you're trying to get eggs, to the extent you can even find them, the prices have reached all time highs. Gas prices are going up.
Coffee prices are going up, reaching an all time high. We're seeing the automobile industry tanked down massive amounts on Friday after Trump said, nope, these tariffs are definitely coming. And when you listen to some of these Trump voters, and they're all on their conservative message boards trying to scramble and figure this out, and people are like, F, F word.
I hope they get the deal worked out with Canada and Mexico. This is going to wreak havoc on everything. Hold on to your butts, everyone. This is going to be bad. Why? Tariffs are now taxing. Tariffs are taxes on Americans. This isn't what I vote for. This is what you voted for. We kept on saying it over and over again.
When Donald Trump said America is at its wealthiest in the 1800s, we need to go back to 1870. I was telling you we're not at our wealthiest back then. By the way, Trump is still saying that now, that that's when we were at our wealthiest. Here, play this clip.
Our country was at its richest from 1870 to 1913. had the most, that was when we were the richest, relatively speaking. We were the richest during that period of time. That was tariffs from other countries.

Oh, you got people saying things like this. You've changed, Donald. F you. It's from some of the Trump voters. You have another Trump voter saying, you know, I like the Don, but I'm starting to get a bit worried about him. He's starting to act more like a dictator than a leader. Why does he think that threatening everybody is going to work? Is it just the America way or is he power tripping?
I hope not because he's actually in a unique position to do some good, not only in the U.S., but the world. He's not going to do good. Do we realize what's happened over the past two weeks? America objectively has never been weaker. We've lost essentially all of our alliances. Our adversaries are in a stronger position than ever. Prices are not going down here. Our federal government is a mess.
There were two plane crashes. This past week, one taking the life of 67 people as the tower control didn't have the appropriate staff, as the head of the FAA was pushed out and constructively discharged, meaning essentially fired, as Trump's gutted all the key safety committees, as Donald Trump has...
utterly destroyed the federal government and now there's just complete and total chaos within the government as there was like a and this still is just no one knows what's even happening is there a government freeze what types of government aid can people access or not It's like the worst situation possible. And the only people who are loving this are the broligarchs, the oligarchs.
They're loving this right now. You're seeing headlines like this. Trump tariffs stoke US food inflation despite pledge to lower costs. Y'all are still doing this, Reuters? You're still printing the, the pledge was to lower costs. Do Donald Trump lies about everything? His pledge was a lie. He said that he was going to bring down costs on day one, he said. Remember that? Let me play this for you.
He said, day one, play the clip.
Starting on day one of my new administration, we will end inflation and we will make America affordable again because the prices are too high. The prices are through.
Well, now we warned you. We said, no, that wasn't going to happen. Business shoppers brace for higher prices. NPR oil ticks up after hours on tariffs. Egg prices shoot up even more. Oh, by the way, there's Elon Musk dancing in his Wario outfit. The billionaires, the oligarchs, they think this is one big joke as we the people suffer. Do you feel, let me ask you this. Do you feel safe right now?
Do you feel, in Trump's America, for real, like, do you feel safe? Like, would you want to, I mean, put this in the comments. Would you want to get on an airplane right now in Trump's America? I hate to say this, but like, he's broken the government. I mean, these are key positions. Donald Trump has caused a crash in the American auto industry with tariffs on Mexico and Canada.
This is what the media was saying, though. For a brief second, the media was like, we're so back. We're back. We've got the access that we want. But by the end of these press conferences, the media is saying WTF. About 63% of all of our vegetables come from Mexico. When we look at fruits and nuts, about 50% come from there.
If we look at Canada, most of the meat that we consume comes from Canada as well. A study this month by Warwick McGibbon and Marcus Nolan of the Peterson Institute for International Economics concluded that the 25% on Canada and Mexico tariffs and the 10% on China would damage everybody's economies involved. Consumers can now expect to see price increases on everything.
Avocados, berries, tequila, beer, cooking oil, meat, and meat products. And consumers should brace for higher prices at the pump. By the way, are there going to be more plane crashes? In one week, we're seeing two plane crashes with the United States military Black Hawk copter. By the way, that's under Pete Hegseth's line of command. I was going to say, can you imagine if Biden was in office?
But you get the point. By the way, the firefighters in Utah, they showed up to the Utah Senate as their Republican Senate voted to take away their collective bargaining rights. The National Labor Relations Board has been gutted by Donald Trump.
So all those unions who voted for Donald Trump, union workers, the head of the Teamsters, Sean O'Brien, who's been like kissing Trump's ass, excuse my language, screwed over his rank and file. The National Labor Relations Board is gutted. Unions won't be able to be recognized. Grievances won't be heard ever.
You know, Trump's using the FCC to destroy media that he doesn't like, that the FCC regulates. Also, the federal agents union that represents the FBI agents. They're pissed because Trump's fired any FBI agent who was involved in a January 6th case.
And this is after the FBI agent union supported or said very nice things about all of Trump's new acting FBI heads who then turned around and fired them all. And we're just hearing these stories about leopard eating faces, F around and find out all over. Here's another one here. My cousin got let go and now my family is mad because I voted for it to happen.
My cousin works at the VA as a specialized doctor and today got the letter to resign and get her pay through September. Because of this, I became an immediate target by my family because I voted for this to happen. I mean, as I'm watching all these people who are voting against this, their own interest over and over again. They screwed themselves. They screwed everybody else in this country.
And these tariffs are going to hit everybody really, really hard. I mean, all Trump had to do was basically nothing. He could have just played golf, took credit for Biden's economy, put it on autopilot. It was all he had to do. But he's a maniac. He's literally a psychotic human being. F'd around and found out. Unfortunately, all of us have to feel that pain too. Hit subscribe.
