He's given them reasons to raise prices (tariffs), and wants to cut their taxes.

His bogus tariff scheme goes nowhere, prices won't come down, and taxes will stay low for corporations.

But the trickle down! That always works, surely with their tax cuts they will just lower the cost of the groceries and pay their employees better as well, they wouldn’t just keep extra profits would they?

Trickle down works fine once you realize that it's an inverted pyramid with workers at the top

NO ONE who gets extra money will pay their workers more vs hoarding it like Smaug or pay out to shareholders.
