I don't understand how they can think Trump's tariffs or mass deportations will make things cheaper. I'm expecting prices to skyrocket if Trump actually gets to do what he says he will. I don't know how much food we import, but I imagine it isn't an insignificant amount so those will go up by at least 10% if I recall Trump's tariff rate.
