    I’m pretty sure the word you are looking for is ‘greedflation’. If they say how much the tariffs increase the price in a line item fashion then they can’t add on their own bit of greedflation.

      Tariffs are at 245 percent. I doubt they can do much in terms of adding their own surcharges.

        But when trump next folds like the wet blanket he is and arbitrarily drops it back to 145% next week, they can “lower” their prices to be 185% above the baseline and pocket the difference with fewer people noticing.
