Diesel prices are breaking records every day due to Trump’s war in the Middle East.

In the coming weeks, that’s likely to trickle down to everything Americans buy.

Brace yourselves.

Watch.

The overlooked factor making everything more expensive
The cost of diesel quietly raises the price of goods across the economy. You’re likely paying for it already.
