Also the United States imports a lot of food, not a scholarly source but I don't see why you think that the United States doesn't import food and why a tariff wouldn't impact the prices.

Well if you think Trump will depart 25 million illegals in 4 years, you might have a point.
If he puts a tariff on food than the price will go up FOR That item, not neccesaroly across the board.
This isn't neccesarily direct at you Mustard. But do some of you guys think there is a button he can push called Tariff and BOOM everything coming into the country has a Tariff?
If he put a tariff on EVERYTHING, yes THAT IS bad , but he's not going to do that, there are still SANE people in goverment.
So like a lot of aruments here is that everything has a tariff and all 25 million illegals will be deported. This just ain't gonna happen. the negative effect of those policies will be minuimal to most people
