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 about not voting the guy in then?
It was and they won! Now with Trump in office no more Palestinians will suffer! The humanitarian crisis is over, god-emperor himself said he wants Israel to “finish what they started”. He must mean that war needs to end, what other interpretation could possibly be accurate? I thank Jesus personally every night for helping the man win who wants to jack inflation right back up after it’s finally started taming. Our economy is in the right hands!
As often as people beat that drum, it’s nothing but an excuse for most. They don’t have any actual thoughts or opinions on the economy. Just voting on vibes.
I think it’s that and “the grass is greener” fallacy. “I’m upset with things now so I’ll vote for somebody different because it might be better.”
They voted because of “woke” and immigrants. A guy on social media told them those are the real problems we face.
I can’t believe how little we are acknowledging that social media is currently being used to manipulate voters not just in US but also in Europe. Why people think that what happened in Romania didn’t also happen in US? And is not happening in other European countries?
Oh no, in light of this maybe he won’t be elected anymore
Oh wait
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.
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.
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.
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.
Bad news? It’s only bad news if he gives as shit, and clearly he does not.
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.
