Look for food prices at the grocery store to go down.
You don't seem to understand what is happening. It's not a matter of prices. When 90% of your product is sold to one country, and suddenly tariffs make it impossible to sell to that country.... 90% of your product (and 100% of your profit margin) goes to waste. They have farmers with product sitting in silos that they can't sell.... They can't wait until next year; everything will rot before them.

Trump just fucked farmers. Hard. In the ass.
