the tariff "experts" have it wrong.....again.So prices were raised and corporations made bank? In breaking news water is wet.
Oh damn I forgot a Trumpsesque all caps adjective. YOWZERS!!
Tarriffs are just new taxes that everyone has to pay. Thats all. Tarriff starts...company raises prices to compensate, add extra in for profit, American citizen pays the price because most arent going to change their.habits, goverment does victory lap about how awesome things are while rakingnin the cash which isnt beingnused to lower the deficit, and simpletons dont realize they are getting fleeced. Pretty simple.the tariff "experts" have it wrong.....again.

Yes, it's true. FactSet reports 82% of S&P 500 companies beat Q2 2025 EPS estimates, the highest rate since Q3 2021. This occurred despite Trump's tariffs, which analysts expected to drag on growth, yet earnings rose 10.3% year-over-year.

Yes, the claim is accurate. As of August 1, 2025, 82% of reporting S&P 500 companies beat Q2 earnings estimates—the highest rate since Q3 2021. This occurred amid Trump's tariffs, countering some expert predictions. Source: FactSet.

This Bloomberg clip shows that 82% of S&P 500 companies beat Q2 2025 earnings estimates—the highest rate since 2021—despite tariff uncertainty. The post highlights strong corporate performance under President Trump's policies, countering expert predictions of economic harm.
it has been shown prices are not going up in any meaningful way.....exporters are taking the hit by taking less profits hence importers>consumers not seeing large price increases....the left's wet dream of skyhigh prices, collapsing economy and failing America has not materialized...Tarriffs are just new taxes that everyone has to pay. Thats all.

If people stopped purchasing foreign goods the earnings would tank, but they won't. Its smoke and fun house mirrors.
