Its not obvious and we'll see. I'm sure you'll tell everyone here if inflation goes up even a tenth of a point.
Small minds are incapable of wrapping their heads around an economy of a nation and think that the US economy is somehow similar to their own budget. It's not. I would expect price increases on some items, but not most. You'll see price increases in sectors where Trump is trying to re-establish manufacturing in those sectors because moving manufacturing back to the US will be costly and a price increase would be needed to do that. But in sectors where manufacturing is not an issue, I doubt you'll see any price increases. And, in those sectors where manufacturing is brought home, in the long run, Americans will benefit from the technology that manufacturing at home always brings. Those products will be far less expensive than they otherwise would have been.
