I'm not giving Trump a pass, I think these tariffs are one of the most ridiculous things I've heard in years.

However I'm not going to blame tariffs on something that aren't affected by tariffs. I'm going to blame the company who is deciding to raise the price of a good that isn't impacted by the tariffs,

It's two separate ongoing issues and I'm not about to give the company a get out of jail free card by blaming tariffs for it.

Right, but the companies are using the tariffs as cover for the price increases. Without the tariffs, they wouldn't be so brazen about it.
