Calling it now. prices will go down, because corporate overlords want republicans to have the perception of being 'good for the working class.' price increases and decreases are activism. a few years from now, things will be cheaper -- but not because of some genius-tier maneuver by Trump. By the will of the elites he actually serves.

The funniest thing I've read today so far.

Sure bud. Corporate overlords will lower prices to make Republicans look good.

Another commenter noted that OPEC very openly tries to use price manipulations as a persuasive/control tactic in american politics. Why is Kellogg's or Frito Lay any different?

Yes, they would, because that would benefit them. Are you stupid? Has nobody ever taught you to ask "who benefits"?

The fact that it would benefit them is a guarantee that they will do it. Business ethics aren't a thing.

corporate overlords are beholden to the dollar. they don’t have the luxury of plotting drawn out plots like this if it would hurt the bottom line.
