Cheaper dollar boosts US exports. Makes imports more expensive even before tarrifs. Which situationally, some industrial sectors will want. The exporting ones. The ones reliant on imports, less such.

The US isn't self sufficient in food. Food imports are going to get more expensive.

The US produces ~4,000 calories per person per day and consumes ~2,500.

US consumers don’t go to the grocery store for “calories”.

Ironic the side that likes to joke about the lack of choice in certain foreign supermarkets is going to create those conditions here at home.
