    The President does not create laws, Congress does. The President can repeal laws, which doesn’t help in this context.

    Tariffs are not laws. They are an additional tax, and you’re correct in stating that they certainly won’t lower prices.

      The tariff establishes the market floor. Trump can enact tariffs without congress. It will be setting the economy on several market vectors.

        No additional tariff is capable of lowering a product’s price. It’s simply a way to give domestic production a competitive advantage without them lowering their prices.

        My point is about the President’s limitations on fixing or lowering grocery prices, not raising them.
