The media is dialing up the doomsaying over the impact of President Donald J. Trump’s foreign tariffs and is going back to the well of perhaps the most successful fearmongering campaign of all time.
According to one left-leaning mainstream outlet, the tariffs could lead to a repeat of the great national toilet paper shortage of 2020, when mass hysteria stoked by the media sparked a panic that drove Americans to hoard bathroom tissue, leaving stores with barren shelves and forcing retailers to impose rationing measures.

I started hoarding TP in 2015. I had fear that BO would cancel the 2016 election and declare martial law.
Thanks for the reminder to buy more.

If/When you are totally full of "feces"...of course a shortage will be a "concern". Mayhaps some of the beetle/fire killed forests can be used to resurrect the American Pulp industry.

So are the dems planning on closing down the country to save us from the Trump Tariff virus? TP will now be called Trump Paper. s/o Yes, there might be some interruptions and inconveniences but I am willing to see how this shakes out.

There was never a shortage last time. It was a supply chain issue having to do with which supplies were scheduled to be delivered where, at what time. When deliveries are predictable the whole system revolves around it. That suddenly changed and the system was not adaptable fast enough, and people panicked.
The USA produces more than enough TP to sustain itself without help from outside.

Ya know, if we are relying on other countries for our TP, then we're already in trouble. I'm pretty sure we can make our own TP.

No worries, after Covid, most Americans have a year supply in their homes.

Most toilet paper is made right here in America. And they know that. They will lie about anything.

There was never a shortage of toilet paper… just a shortage of little rolls of paper. I didn’t hear of anyone who really didn’t have something to wipe with.

Blatant fear mongering. They pick something that caused a reasonably recent stir and resurrect the image of "scary times". They don't dig in and realize the circumstances are different and the outcome they "predict" unlikely. They are out to slam Trump and any means will do.
And then they moan about Trump labeling them, absolutely correctly, "Fake News". It's really amazing that they can't seem to help themselves from continuing to behave like this.
And every story that falls apart just proves the point about how biased and stupid and hateful they are.

Indeed. Fearmongering and lies. From the party that brought us airlifted baby formula.
Any sane person with an intact memory knows that economic calamity and bizarre national events happen under democrats, or because of democrats. Although now it is more accurate to say the Uniparty.

The only shortage leftists should be worried over is their extreme IQ deficit.

More like the Left hopes their fear-mongering will lead to a tp shortage that they can blame on Trump.

I wonder about the folks who freak out about TP.A friend's wife bought huge quantities when the Fem-panic hit. I never understood to this day what the odd, irrational fear is about TP.

Purchase a bidet. Inexpensive, easy to install, no more worries about toilet paper shortages.

Toilet paper does not come on boats from China and India and Africa. The rolls actually collapse (it's been tried).
Toilet paper comes on orange Schneider Transport semitrailer trucks from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

I'm still using out of the stash from last time. It is the perfect thing to hoard. It has no shelf life, its relatively cheap (not lately) and will eventually be used. The shortage may have been artificial, but the empty shelves were real. Take care of yourself and your family first, then worry about anonymous strangers who think I should short my family for them simply because they didnt have the foresight to stock up.
