The admin sold a trade war to protect the American wallet. Instead, they delivered the largest tax hike since 1993 via tariffs, pushing rates to their highest since 1943. Protection has a steep, hidden price.

While the admin claims "price hikes never materialized," reality hits at the checkout. A WSJ analysis confirms what your image shows: prices on 1200+ Amazon staples are up >5%, with Campbell's soup soaring ~30%. This isn't market chaos; it's the direct result of a policy that Walmart is managing to defy.

The bill for 'winning' the trade war has arrived, and it's addressed to every American household.
