Trunk is such a bellend!!!! Hitting tens of millions of Americans to impose tariffs on people he personally doesn't like!!!! Can you be more cruel as a President!!! You suffer on his whim…. And you might have been someone that voted for him!!! He doesn't care
Let punish other countries by making our citizens pay higher taxes. The MAGA supporters must love paying taxes hahahaha. This is why poor people stay poor.
I'M WAITING FOR A TARIFF ON.AIR THAT YOU BREATH TO LIVE! I ALREADY.BUY.THE CHEAPEST CRAP I CAN BUY! REPUBLICANS LOVE TO MAKE PEOPLE MISERABLE!
It's already very cheap right now so big deal!
A lot of local restaurants started making their own noodles, guess what they taste better
Not that hard to make at home either
These tariffs are SO FRIGGIN STUPID. It's too late. Prices have exploded.
Buy American pasta. Next.
I paid $3.50 for dried ziti today. One pound. Pork sausage is same price. It’s nuts
Wait….didn’t Trump negotiate a ‘deal’ between the U.S. and the EUS.?
Oh right – just another reminder that Trump is a man with no honor. His word is worthless.
Just another case of Trump not using his noodle.
1/22/25 Sat. MS NOW during it's first week, seemed to be a winner. But Saturday, seems dumber than dumb.. No dateso know which show, , Nor hour, No. Not a wrap-up of the week. Very disapointing!
Good pasta requires Durum wheat that is not grown much in the US but is a specialty in Italy and Canada that is the worlds largest exporter. So guess what, 35% tariffs on Canadian wheat increase US pasta production costs and make Italian pasta cheaper. Nothing to do with dumping and everything to do with stupid, stupid, stupid tariff policies.
It's only dumping IMO if it's like cheap fast fashion from China that use cheap materials. Italian pasta is NOT cheap materials. So a couple of companies wanted to steal the heritage of Italy by making their own and calling it pasta but can't sell it cheap because America, so they complain to the higher ups to make it expensive everywhere else besides them? Not a free market then. It's like complaining about not being able to price gouge the American people.
What will it be next week? What a pissy little little man.
Changed your name but not your wrong opinions!
Now that they've changed their name to MS NOW, will it be streaming instead of attached to cable??
American pasta is flash dried and therefore, terrible. Italian pasta is air dried, a longer process, which makes it better and therefore, tastes like it's supposed to. Of course, it's easy to make yourself.
You’re fools. What are you thinking? You both use words like “could or may “ Ain’t gonna happen. All you want to do is scare people. You’re not
Journalists
Do your research for a change!
Trump will be selling trump pasta pretty soon
Is this the cooking segment? Does anyone there really eat IMPORTED pasta? Do you think most Americans can AFFORD to? Nice myopia.
TRUTH! My pasta, Dececco, is up 74%. It went from 1.89 for a 1 lb box to $3.29. Sheesh. And move production to the US? The quality of the water and the flour–different. So no!
You DON'T need expensive, even BEFORE tariffs, Italian pasta!!! Buy American! Eat Ronzoni!
The tariffs are on the imported products pre-wholesale cost and NOT the retail price. A $3.99 box of pasta at the grocery store probably cost $0.25 per box at the docks when imported. Add the cost of shipping, packaging and distribution plus the stores markup brings the price up to $3.99. 100% of $0.25 is $0.25 so the tariff would usually be absorbed by the importer and store. STOP LISTENING TO THESE DRAMA QUEENS!
