📰 THE FULL STORY
The New York Post reported that Trump's new Canada tariffs flush savings and send toilet paper prices higher. The outlet framed its coverage around how much consumers would pay.
⬅️ HOW THE LEFT COVERS IT
The Guardian's coverage foregrounds Trump's new US oil agreement with Venezuela rather than the cross-border tariff fight. It leaves out the consumer price angle on Canadian goods that the right emphasizes. (The Guardian)

⚠️ WHAT THEY AREN'T TELLING YOU
Left and center coverage in this set pivots almost entirely to Trump's Venezuelan oil deal rather than the Canada tariffs, while only the right addresses direct consumer costs like toilet paper prices. Fox Business reported that the Fed's favored inflation gauge rose more than expected in July, a price signal that sits alongside the tariff story.
🌐 WHAT THE INTERNET IS SAYING
On X, @nypost warned that Trump's new Canada tariffs drain savings and push toilet paper prices higher. That concern was echoed by @FeistyLibLady, who said the 50% tariffs will raise costs for car repairs, vehicles, and paper goods.
@PattyMurray and @RepJasonCrow blamed Trump for starting the trade war and hiking prices on working families. @RepJasonCrow noted that Coloradans already pay more for gas, groceries, and housing.
Offering a different take, @PollTracker2024 shared Mike Rogers defending the tariffs as putting America First, while calling for a fair deal with Canada that protects Michigan farmers and the auto industry.
