Trump’s Insane Tariff War Is Killing Consumer Loved Dollar Tree Stores

   And just about everything else: His crazy reckless ineptitude is causing massive gas and product tax hikes which is passed on to all Americans: While retarded, dangerously unhinged ‘Donald the Bozo CLOWN’ falls perversely in love with an evil N Korean dictator named Kim Jung Un like the natural born public idiot he is, consumer friendly deep discount Dollar Tree Stores and others are being sabotaged by his insane tariff wars, and that’s a very sad fact but Bozo Trump, the sick narcissistic pathological liar, probably could care less about what you pay for products just like he could probably care less about Christianity, the USA, our farmers, your family or your healthcare and that’s unacceptable: Most respected experts predicted the obvious, that Bozo Trump would be the worst disaster in American history, a destroyer of our once great and vibrant economy and that’s yet another sad and unfortunate consequence:

      The shear magnitude of unnecessary destruction our once great economy will ultimately realize caused by and idiot clown named Donald John Trump, a creton weirdo named Steve Mnuchin, a white supremacist named 'filth face' Steve Bannon along with a complicit Russian republican congress, will be difficult to calculate in the coming years:
      
      "Dollar Tree, and its customers, feel pain of tariffs on Chinese imports"
      
      "Few stores, and shoppers, are as affected by the Trump administration’s escalating trade fight with China as Dollar Tree and its massive base of low- and middle-income customers.
      
      Late last month, President Donald Trump slapped a 10 percent tariff on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. Unlike previous rounds of tariffs on Chinese products, which largely taxed industrial goods, the new duty touches everyday consumer items. That's the sweet spot for the Chesapeake, Virginia-based Dollar Tree, which owns 15,000 Dollar Tree and Family Dollar discount variety stores across the U.S., and may soon need to pull items off shelves, or take other steps to offset the higher costs. The tariff may also hit communities if the company pulls back on store openings and hiring."

      That's nice and congratulations, maybe you're one of the filthy rich who could care less about working Americans just like charlatan Bozo Trump could care less, but a dime more for each product is too much for many working class and senior citizen Americans on a fixed income and it's not just reflected in the prices at Dollar Tree, prices are rising at just about every store including walmart and many of these consumer friendly establishments will not survive this orange clowns tenure if his madness is allowed to go on for much longer:
      
      Just like many Americans can't afford Bozo Trump's skyrocketing gas prices, or his auto prices or skyrocketing consumer goods prices or failure to raise the minimum wage: He's a lying charlatan, nothing more and nothing less and finally the truth about his finances is beginning to emerge through the media as a result of fantastic investigative reporting:

   Every legitimate expert on this planet warned the world of the severe irreparable detrimental economic consequences of a megalomaniac idiot like Bozo Trump gaining access to our oval office: I just pray we can salvage at least a few pieces of broken America after he's imprisoned, which is where he must end up if we still have laws:
   
   "Trump's New Chinese Tariffs Are Hitting Dollar Tree Stores"
   
   "President Donald Trump’s new 10% tariff on Chinese imports is impacting low- and middle-income customers somewhere you might not expect: Dollar Tree.
   
   Unlike previous tariffs that targeted industrial goods, the new duty enacted last month hits consumer items, many of which are sold at Dollar Tree and Family Dollar’s 15,000 locations across the country. The increased cost is forcing the company to reconsider carrying some items, which now have a significantly smaller margin. Over time it may also impact the chain’s ability to hire new employees or open new locations."

Buy American...I would love to, but even Mr. Sam is rolling over in his grave because WalMart is selling mostly Chinese-made crap instead of American-made goods. Our fine department stores, Dillards and Belk, are selling very little American-made. Why pay more than a dollar for Chinese crap when I don't have to?
       
       I love American-made shoes and I buy SAS when I can find my size or the Israeli-made Naots. (My salesman called them Israeli-made Birkenstocks, but they are much softer.) Both brands are equally expensive, but I can't wear Chinese-made shoes. They don't fit and they feel like walking on a bed of rocks, but my flip flops to wear out in the garden came from the dollar store. I don't believe flip flops are made in this country.

             I know that, Jake, and believe me, I've paid my dues. I'm not bragging, just stating a fact. I raised two children as a single mom with little to no child support. We lived in dangerous crappy neighborhoods and I drove older balky cars. Most of the time my income was minimum wage or little better. I would have loved to have had the privilege of shopping at a dollar store then.
             I did not come from privilege, but worked hard to get some stability and a good retirement. I agree that Trump is working to take all that away from me and from people who are working hard to accomplish a good life. I defended dollar stores and I stated that I enjoy shopping in them.
             This idea of buying American is over. Trump just gave lip service to bringing it back. He can't force big corporations to bring their factories back to this country. When Mr. Sam was alive, WalMart provided American-made goods for Americans to buy. His kids have made a mockery of his ideas and now provide cheap Chinese-made goods to America. So I ask again, "why go there and pay triple or more for them when we can get the same stuff from dollar stores for a dollar?" I don't know about you, but I love saving money.
