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.
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.
He said he was gonna.
"But, we didn’t think . . . "
He SAID he was gonna.
"We really didn’t expect "
HE F*CKING SAID HE WAS GONNA!
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.
Nah, with the current political climate, if you didnt vote, you voted for trump. Meaning well over half our country voted for trump.
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
I don’t think he’s planning on worrying about polls ever again.
Doesn’t he at least have concepts of a plan for that?
Has he ever given a flying fuck. He’s a complete moron.
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.
He has absolutely no reason to care now
Oh no, in light of this maybe he won’t be elected anymore
Oh wait
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.
Bad news? It’s only bad news if he gives as shit, and clearly he does not.
This country deserves the absolute worst. Burn it all down.
I agree. Let’s just hit the giant reset button, it won’t be fun, in fact it’ll be quite the opposite, but our current trajectory is no good and unsustainable anyway.
At this point anyone still writing articles with the unstated premise that Americans are paying enough attention and in possession of enough information to have their voting choices influenced by actual policy proposals and their real-world effects should be stuffed into sacks and hit with sticks.
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.
Dumbasses asked for this.
“Gets”
