Mark Cuban: they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs

Mark Cuban:

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

The issue is that, in many cases, "Made in the USA!" doesn't mean "Made completely of US sourced materials"

We're still going to be paying for tariffs on the ingredients.
