Are goods shortages really coming in the next 2-4 weeks due to Tariffs/halted shipments?

The media and X has numerous accounts warning about this, but no direct info from Walmarts CEO, official port data, etc.
Seems that even if tarriffs are canceled today, we will get hit with shortages as early as mid may.

Short answer, no. Domestic supply of all goods won't immediately be impacted.

No. Nothing will change.

I bought all of the milk, bread, and eggs in Walmart.

Put yourself in CEO chair of fast moving consumer goods company (for example) that imports raw materials for your goods.
Tariffs are major cost increase. Margin / cash flow evaporation. Perhaps prohibitively so in short term. Turning down / off production or re-routing supply chain (that likely is NOT producing in U.S.) will disrupt supply.
Smart CEOs are setting record imports ahead of tariffs implementation, also disrupting supply.
Econ 2001/2002 should be requirement to be US Presidents. An f’n pity it is not.

The items needed to the cannery functioning certainly does. The items needed to keep the trains and trucks moving the corn from the field to the cannery to the supermarket certainly does.

Everytime trump does something the media quickly throws out something drastic that could happen.
Did the same thing last time he was elected.
You will never see anything good he does because making people worried is worth more money on social media

The commie AOC has an economics degree.
She wouldn’t know a supply/demand curve if it slapped her on her arse.

Yes definitely

After looking at the GDP garbage that came out today...the warehouses should be full for 2+ months of hysterical mouth-breathers buying TP. Basically the only reason we had negative GDP was the historically high net imports of goods.

Trumps's degree is in economics....

Depends on whether people do a bunch of “panic buying”. Hopefully trump can show some leadership and calm people’s fears so that doesn’t happen.

I did a diligent search yesterday for specific item that will be short. Could not find any

My company does business with a large (multibillion-dollar revenue) trucking/shipping/transportation/logistics business that operates mostly on the West Coast of the US. Most of their drivers (who take product out of major ports) have been on a rotating furlough program (1 week on, 1 week off) so they can retain them & allow these guys to keep their benefits. Their normal routes have been cut by 60%. They are making it sound like what is coming is really bad.

In 1964, Trump enrolled at Fordham University. Two years later, he transferred to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in May 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in economics.
