Americans aren't just going to pay more for things from Canada and Mexico because Donald Trump is an idiot.
They are also going to pay more for goods from the United States, as American producers use the expectation of higher prices to gouge.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!
