Colbert on the Tariffs: ‘Set Your Clocks Back to “More Expensive”’

In a recent episode, Stephen Colbert commented on President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Brazilian imports. Colbert noted that the move would adversely impact "meat-based Americans," as Brazil is a major exporter of meat products to the United States. The late-night host joked that the new tariffs would effectively "set your clocks back to 'More Expensive,'" reflecting the likely increase in prices for consumers. Colbert's remarks highlight the potential economic consequences of the administration's trade policies, particularly the impact on consumers and specific industries reliant on imported goods. The article suggests that Colbert used his platform to provide a humorous, yet critical, perspective on the president's tariff decisions and their potential effects on American households and the broader economy.
