Summary
A new WalletHub poll reveals that 74% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs will worsen inflation, which remains a major concern for most households.
Trump’s plan includes significant tariffs—up to 60% on Chinese goods and 20% on other imports—to protect American jobs and address issues like fentanyl production and border security.
Experts warn these tariffs could increase consumer prices, with middle-income families potentially losing $2,500 annually.
Analysts caution Trump’s plans may face political hurdles in Congress despite his economic-focused campaign promises.
Are we going to pretend he gives a shit? He doesn’t. He got what he wanted, and he can’t be elected again (barring him fucking our systems so severely that he manages to force a third term on us). He’s going to wreck the justice system to avoid any consequences for his actions after his term, and he could very well kick the bucket while he’s in office anyway (dude’s got KFC gravy for blood).
He doesn’t care. He no longer has to. He can play his country-destroying games with impunity. He has no reason to give a single fuck what the American people want.
I don’t think he cares as much about the tariffs, but I am quite sure tariffs on Mexico and Canada were Elonia’s idea
I mean he enacted tarrifs on Canada and Mexico in his first term so it’s not like it’s not something he’s been thinking about.
156,302,318 voters voted out of 244,666,890 eligible. 77,266,856 people voted for tRump. That’s 167,400,034 eligible voters who did not vote for tRump. So yeah…that tracks.
That’s shocking
Non-voters don’t matter as far as the political system we’re discussing is concerned so why do we spend so much time talking about them? How many of them there are and the reasons they don’t vote are both entirely irrelevant.
and he can’t be elected again (barring him fucking our systems so severely that he manages to force a third term on us).
That’s easy, create a national crisis (massive inflation + riots) and have SCOTUS suspend the 22nd amendment
Has he ever given a flying fuck. He’s a complete moron.
Oh no, in light of this maybe he won’t be elected anymore
Oh wait
Let him do this tariff thing. Maybe people will finally learn how “good” he and his party is with money when the US economy is completely ruined.
Republicans have been tanking the economy my entire life. Their voters do not learn
Looking at what Trump is planning, you have seen nothing yet.
He has absolutely no reason to care now
It won’t. His Congressional majority is completely servile, and none of them care what the American people think. Their only focus is on looting and sabotage.
How’s this news? That’s literally what MAGA was selling the entire time. The so called “Temporary Hardships”. They promised and they’re going to deliver some economic hardships, that was the sales pitch and people voted for it. Anybody shocked is just not paying attention.
Hardships for OTHER people. You know who I mean.
Bad news? It’s only bad news if he gives as shit, and clearly he does not.
Can’t wait for worker shortages to cause supply line issues. I really hope the US feels this one.
So ashamed to be an American right now, but yet I might not be one starting January. So eh.
Eat dicks fuckers.
This country deserves the absolute worst. Burn it all down.
He’ll probably only care when he actually crashes the economy and everyone turns on him. It’s only a matter of time. I give it 1.5 years from Inauguration Day.
“Hurr Durr”, replied Trump
Wharton shakes it head in shame.
Dumbasses asked for this.
“Gets”
And how much of that will find its way into his personal funds? So many big donations from big companies already - he’s going to milk this for all the money he can.
