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.

Perhaps they should have thought about that before voting for a lunatic.

You don’t understand though. They really had to stick it to minorities and women, their every day be damned.

It’s almost like they think if those people have less happiness then they will have more. It’s the same nonsense that underlies trickle down economics, a childlike belief that things won’t be held onto by the ruling class with a vice-like grip.
