Trump's war on Christmas

[Dutch Uncle]

Remember how the Republicans whined for over a decade about the "War on Christmas"? It appears Trump is winning it for them and killing Christmas.

Murders at sea, threats of war, higher prices with more increases expected. How much more winning can Americans be expected to take?

After a Year of Tariffs, This Is How Much More Christmas Will Cost in 2025

New tariffs are expected to make Christmas pricier, from electronics and apparel to décor and artificial trees, as retailers pass on added costs.

What’s Christmas without a tree? With prices rising, some Americans might find out. Artificial Christmas trees, the bulk of which are imported from China, are expected to cost 10 to 15 percent more this year, according to the American Christmas Tree Association (ACTA). Manufacturers are both absorbing and passing on tariff costs, which currently average at 47.5 percent for Chinese imports.

China is also the primary source of America’s holiday décor, providing 88 percent of Christmas decoration products in 2023, according to U.S. Census data. That means even those choosing farm-grown Christmas trees will face higher prices on items like lights, some of which are now subject to tariffs as high as 67 percent, the ACTA noted.

The fertilizer and equipment the tree farmers use come from China, and you can bet they are gonna raise prices to match general increase.

It will be just like black friday. A spending increase with less merchandise purchased.

Trump is his own worst enemy. The fact his shrinking group of adoring white nationalists can't see this is the fun part of our era.

And the " fertilizer and equipment " that doesn't come from Chins comes from Canada or Mexico and they have a min.of a 25% tariff on them and that will raise the price or a lot of it does.
And it is on not only Christmas Tree framers but every other farmer in the US .
and the stupid MAGAS wonder why prices of things grown here are going up , they don't think tariffs effect things grown here when they do.
