    It also forces farmers to sell more of their products here in the U.S., to bring grocery prices way down. We’ve already seen this with eggs.

    The absolutely stupid thing about this particular statement is that egg imports had risen to meet demand which was forcing egg prices back down. The tariffs are going to completely reverse that.
