Odd, tariffs don't cause price increases, but......

We've been told that tariffs don't cause price increases, yet Trump is lowering tariffs to combat price increases? Odd. Can anyone help me out on understanding this?

 

Here’s How Much Coffee, Beef and Banana Prices Have Gone Up

 

 

"On Friday, President Trump moved to lower tariffs on beef, coffee, bananas and dozens of other agricultural and food goods as a way to directly address Americans’ concerns about the cost of living."

Putting a bullet in his head would be the best way for him to address Americans' cost of living. But I have the feeling that he's not willing to do that.

 

In that regard, Hitler was a better leader.

 

As we know, he doesn't understand the most basic thing about tariffs: who pays them. He also can't comprehend that goods produced domestically can still be affected by tariffs. So this empty gesture means nothing.

 

It's sort of like someone beating someone else to within an inch of their life and then offering them a Band-Aid
