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.
Oh it’s deeper than that, it’s money coming out of our pockets slipping through a third party and going back into the government offers. It’s an extra tax on goods by proxy. He then has a fresh revenue stream without any earmarks on it.
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.
No, he just re-did the NAFTA, and it’s not better.

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.
And nobody gives one flying fuck about anyone who can’t be bothered to vote. If your to lazy to get off your ass and vote you have absolutely no right to complain about anything cause politically you don’t matter and you get what your lazy ass asked for.
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.
Nah, with the current political climate, if you didnt vote, you voted for trump. Meaning well over half our country voted for trump.
If you don’t use your voice (vote), you get lost in the chorus
