Folks, let’s talk about the Empty Shelves Economy—the one Donald Trump manufactured with a Sharpie and a tantrum.
Because while this wannabe strongman is out here pounding his chest about “America First,” your local Walmart, Target, and Home Depot are sounding the alarm: stuff is about to disappear from the shelves, and what’s left? It's gonna cost you a hell of a lot more.

Why? Because Trump—the king of economic illiteracy—decided it was a good idea to slap up to 145% tariffs on Chinese imports. That’s not a tax on China. That’s a tax on YOU. That’s your kid’s school supplies. That’s your groceries. That’s your new summer fan during a heatwave. All jacked up in price, or gone completely.
And the CEOs—the ones who actually run the stores—had to march into the White House this week like a damn intervention, telling Trump to his face: “You’re about to crash retail.” Empty shelves. Higher prices. Supply shocks. All before the summer shopping season.
FDT COFFEE MUG - BUY NOW!
Start your day with a sip of truth and a side of resistance. Our "I Hate It When I Wake Up and Trump Is Still President" enamel mug perfectly expresses your frustration with a dash of vintage flair. Whether you're fueling up on coffee, tea, or something stronger (no judgment), this durable mug is built for bold opinions and strong brews.
Now here’s the kicker: after months of ranting about “being tough” and pretending he’s holding China accountable, Trump immediately caved the second Wall Street dipped and the retailers spoke up. He blinked. On camera. Said the tariffs “will come down substantially” if a deal is made. But remember—he started this fire. He’s just trying to sell you the extinguisher he never brought.
This isn’t economic strategy—it’s economic sabotage. He’s playing poker with YOUR money and bluffing with OUR livelihoods. This tariff tax scam doesn’t hurt the rich, it hurts working people. And it’s all part of the same authoritarian grift: cause chaos, pretend you’re the only one who can fix it, and walk away richer while we’re left holding the receipt.
And here’s the truth he doesn’t want you to hear: Trump’s Empty Shelves Economy is a symptom of a deeper disease—an America run by con men, for con men.
So remember this when you go to buy a damn lightbulb and find out it's double the price or out of stock: That’s not China screwing you. That’s Trump.
And that, folks, is the real American carnage.
