I get that KC/Dog is just a Troll but I don’t get what chaps your ass so much.

the same stuff that bothers us bothers him as well. Have you ever noticed how many threads you just FLOOD with posts?

Whatever happened to that crazy egg nut that used to post here? Hey crazy egg nut where are you now?

Egg prices, going up or down, had nothing to do with a president. But Republicans, including Trump, were blaming Biden for egg prices. Once the bird flu ran it's course, egg production increased and prices came down. What will he do to bring down the price of coffee?

Just so easy to look things up today and get past any bullchit from agenda pushers.

“Coffee prices are currently seeing downward pressure due to expectations of ample global supplies (especially from Vietnam) and potential tariff cuts by the new Trump administration, which could lower import costs. However, long-term trends and ongoing climate issues in major producers like Brazil, along with rising production/labor costs, suggest price drops might be temporary, with some forecasts expecting prices to fall significantly by end-2025 but facing upward pressures overall due to climate instability and input costs.

Factors Pushing Prices Down:

Abundant Supplies: Strong production forecasts for Vietnam (world's largest Robusta producer) and increased overall world production for 2025/26 are creating a bearish outlook.

Tariff Reductions: The Trump administration announced potential tariff cuts on imported goods like coffee, with officials expecting quicker, positive effects on prices, notes Yahoo Finance, Axios, and ABC News.

Market Sentiment: A general outlook for lower prices, with some analysts predicting significant drops by late 2025, is influencing current market behavior, says Reuters.
Factors Pushing Prices Up (or Limiting Drops):

Climate Change: Brazil, a key Arabica producer, faces climate whiplash (droughts, frosts, excess rain), threatening future harvests and potentially compromising the 2026 crop.

Production Costs: Rising fertilizer costs, labor shortages, and unpredictable weather continue to pressure farmers.

Long-Term Trend: While short-term dips occur, the long-term trajectory for commodity prices, including coffee, is generally upward, notes CTV News.

In Summary: Expect some short-term relief and potential price drops in late 2025/early 2026 due to supply gluts and policy changes, but climate and cost issues suggest prices might not stay low forever, with overall upward pressure likely returning over time, according to analyses from Nasdaq and Yahoo Finance.

You can always make a thread that I’d have absolutely no interest in flooding. Try Bicycling, Cats, Broadway showtunes, Fashion, Rap music, Jeffrey Epstein, Etc.

I thought the other country paid the tariffs...if that's the case, how will cutting tariffs bring the price down....unless - they have been passing them on to the consumer. And there are two countries he didn't reduce tariffs with - Brazil and Columbia. And where does most coffee in the US come from? Brazil and Columbia. Brazil - 50% tariff and Columbia -2 5% tariff. But.....as the man you so admire (I bet his butt smells way better than the lefty "diaper don" media says) has said - once prices are up, they don't usually come down. And here's the kicker - that includes prices increased due to tariffs....they won't come down. YOu'll just have to be happy that they don't go up as much as they did in June of 2022/

“In November 2025, President Trump took action to lower coffee prices by issuing an executive order that removed previously imposed tariffs on coffee imports, particularly from Brazil and other Latin American countries.

Actions Taken by Trump:

Tariff Removal: The key action was the removal of the 40% tariff previously imposed on coffee imports from Brazil, the largest supplier of coffee to the U.S., and the general 10% tariff applied to other coffee-producing countries as part of the "reciprocal" tariffs.

Trade Frameworks: The administration announced new trade framework agreements with several Latin American nations, including Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Guatemala, aimed at easing import levies on agricultural products from those regions.

Executive Order: These changes were formalized through an executive order that added coffee and other goods like beef, bananas, and tropical fruits to a list of tariff-exempt agricultural products, effective retroactively from November 13, 2025.

Expected and Initial Impact:

The immediate aftermath of this decision saw global coffee futures prices plunge significantly, with arabica coffee futures falling to a seven-week low.

Wholesale Prices: The removal of the 50% total tariff (40% Brazil-specific + 10% general) on Brazilian coffee was expected to normalize trade flows, which had previously dropped by over 50%.

Consumer Prices: Major importers, such as J.M. Smucker Co., responded by canceling plans for further coffee price hikes, citing the lifted tariffs as the reason. The administration and industry experts anticipate that these actions will eventually lead to lower prices on grocery store shelves, though the effects are expected to take time to fully pass through the supply chain.

Previously, economists and industry experts had attributed a portion of the sharp rise in U.S. coffee prices (which saw increases of around 20-40% year-over-year in late 2025) to these tariffs, along with global supply chain disruptions and weather issues in major growing regions like Brazil”

So let’s answer the question 🙋‍♂️ “again” for the dopey dumb doggy from Kansas City who likely fell off his bicycle too many times before finally buying his Chinese made special needs helmet.

Why would the Trump Administration lower Tariffs on products that we either don’t make in the USA 🇺🇸 or more importantly can’t make in the USA 🇺🇸

Let’s let AI 🤖 once again explain it for him.

Asking the question 🙋‍♂️ Do we grow coffee in the U.S.

“Yes, coffee is grown in the U.S., primarily in Hawaii, but also in limited, experimental areas in California, and historically in Puerto Rico, though U.S. production is tiny compared to consumption, with Hawaii being the main U.S. state and California a growing but expensive niche player.

Key U.S. Coffee Growing Regions:

Hawaii: The most significant U.S. coffee producer, known for its famous Kona coffee, grown mainly on the Big Island.
California: A new, niche market, with high labor costs making it expensive but producing specialty beans.

Puerto Rico: A U.S. territory with a long coffee history, though production has faced challenges from hurricanes like Maria, impacting output.

Why It's Not Widespread:

Climate: Most of the U.S. lacks the ideal tropical climate (warm, humid, specific rainfall) for large-scale coffee farming.

Cost: High labor and operational costs in the U.S. make homegrown beans significantly more expensive than imported ones.

Scale: The U.S. consumes far more coffee than it produces, relying heavily on imports from countries like Brazil and Colombia.
So while you can find American-grown coffee, it's a small, premium product compared to the vast majority of coffee imported into the country”

We've tried. Yet your posts are well over 90% of the posts. You should thank whoever owns this site and lets you post like a lunatic and drive away potential users.

AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN. Before I came up to your Water Cooler and became a madman poster this place was dead and buried.

None of you including the dog had posted anything here for weeks.

You guys are only posting here now because I’m here. I compel you.

Period!!!!!!

Don't look now but when you are posting almost 95% of the posts, then you are the ONLY one posting and for all intents and purposes, the board is dead and buried. Hell....it's 3/4 there already. Did you notice you haven't ENGAGED anybody else? Your tendency to reply to a post is to post 4,5.6 posts from X. People look and see that it's futile to try to debate you as you just post all this crap...along with an insult or two. Who would want to engage with that.

I’ve engaged you multiple times but any facts thrown at you you completely ignore. They don’t fit the narrative you want to try and sell. So when you ignore facts to push your agenda I get both insulted, aggravated and frankly sometimes even angry. So that makes me want to either ignore people like you or insult the living hell out of you.

You want to play a game I don’t want to play. I come across too many of you in real life already.

Personally I can’t figure out if people like you are just plain brainwashed or live in a bubble?

I told you I was a Democrat for many years. A very strong one too. But this is not the party of Bill Clinton. This has become the party of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Jasmine Crockett and way too many other freaks and weirdos.

No thanks, not interested.

I'm sorry, I must have missed those attempts because they were buried in a flood of bullshit. You don't 'engage', you antagonize. Any attempt to 'debate' your usually results in the aforementioned twitter post flood, usually with some crap like TRUMP WINS!!!!!!. And if your "engagement" is something you write on twitter repost number 5 or 6, then I'll be honest, I likely didn't see it because when I come here and I am met with a wall of twitter reposts - I don't read them. Try this.....ONE post, and for God's sake please not a twitter repost. I will respond, when I do....formulate your reply...write it and post it. One time. And then you reply one time. what can happen is that maybe Seatacus will add something or someone from your side might add something.

You think me and dog are the same person, we aren't but if it makes you happy....but we are the only people responding to you and THAT is mostly it is to ridicule because of the outrageous number of Twitter reposts. But only very rarely that anybody from YOUR side adds anything,. That's how overwhelming these X floods are.

You just can’t seem to understand that I don’t want either of you to respond. I don’t know either of you and I don’t care about engaging with strangers. For whatever it is in my own mind I’m posting for myself here. Not for anyone else. Maybe that makes me in my own way as crazy as the two of you who seem to need to die for my attention but I really seriously don’t care.

I’d share all my X amusements to Facebook but they don’t pop up the same way they do on this site. So I’m posting them here instead. If it worked the same on Facebook I wouldn’t be here at all.

I’m passing time. Amusing myself. And occasionally accepting to be interrupted by some of you leftovers. Ask yourself, why do you need to engage me? Who am I to you? Who are you to me? I don’t need to convince you of anything and you certainly aren’t going to convince me of anything either.

Oh BTW I just went out today and bought an I Phone 17 Pro Max. Not because I needed it but because I wanted to waste some money. Paid cash too. Nice to be able to just dump $700 (Upgrade) on a whim.
