Fox News Host: Trump Tariffs Will Raise Prices for Americans

Fox News host Julie Banderas explained in simple terms to the Fox News audience and Gene Marks that companies forced to pay more for goods due to Trump’s tariffs will pass on the costs to the American people.

It’s not difficult, no matter how hard Gene Marks tries to put lipstick on Trump’s pig.

Gene Marks spent much of his time softening the impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs on foreign countries, but his ideas were ridiculous.

MARKS: And I’ll tell you one more thing that companies do, Julie. They are looking for alternative suppliers.

You know, maybe you have a chance to buy American, and even if you know you can’t, you can still move and move to another country other than China that will face the largest level of tariffs, and try to turn around and use alternative suppliers as well.

Will this raise prices for you and me?

BANDERAS: Oh yeah.

MARX: It could. It could. It just depends on how businesses choose to absorb price increases.

BANDERAS: Right.

MARX: Perhaps they’re investing in technology or cutting overhead. I think if American companies are forced to buy American, it will end up costing more. And who will pay for it later?

We.

What I mean is that we will be buying goods that they will have to raise prices on because they are not going to buy from foreign countries.

So ultimately it comes down to the taxpayer dollar.

Let’s see how it works.

Business will not put up with rising prices and yawn. They won’t invest in new technology to appease Mad Donald.

They will raise prices, and the American consumer will either pay those prices or do without them. Period. Elon Musk is already celebrating his hope for the collapse of the US economy.
