Just so I can save you all a read. Government data shows wholesale vegetable prices spiked nearly 40% in July, the biggest jump of any category. Economists tiptoe around it, but the facts point straight at Donald Trump. His 50% tariffs on imported fruits and vegetables drive up costs since the U.S. imports more than a third of its supply. His immigration crackdowns have cut the farm labor force by targeting the very workers who harvest our crops. That means higher wages, fewer hands in the field, and higher prices.
Analysts want to hedge and say “it could be weather” or “maybe supply chain issues,” but let’s be real. When tariffs and labor shortages are both direct results of Trump’s policies, pretending this spike is some random market fluctuation is dishonest. Trump owns this surge in prices.
