Yeah, I think the MAGA crowd is going to be in for a big surprise, if these tariffs go on for more than a few months.

Prices won't change much for a few months, while stores work through the items they have in inventory right now.

But I think the one thing that is going to affect MAGA the most is the cost of medication.

It's a fact that the vast majority of senior citizens are Republicans and Trump supporters.

They're also the demographic that is most reliant on medication.

Guess where the majority of your medication is manufactured. China, India, Canada, and the EU.

And yes, medications are indeed going to be included in the tariffs.

Don't expect your private insurance to cover the new, much higher costs. (I mean, why would they? They're blood sucking parasites).

And don't expect Medicare to pay for the difference, because we've just made a big deal about cutting costs in Medicare.

Even if, by some miracle, drug prices don't skyrocket, there are still going to be drug shortages due to the tariffs.

So, I would suggest stocking up, if you have that option.

(But don't worry too much, I doubt the tariffs are going to last very long anyhow, if they ever go into effect at all, and aren't just constantly delayed.)
