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.

    I’d argue the person who defends abhorrent actions just because they’re being conducted by their “team” is the liar and the asshole. They’re lying to themselves about doing “good” and being an asshole by propping up these destructive politicians to the detriment of us all.

    Republicans being evil doesn’t make Democrats the good guys. We don’t live in a Marvel movie.

        Wrong again. That’d be the DNC since they run the party and keep choosing these right-wing status quo dinosaurs that can’t win elections. You forgot to include the incredibly narrow 2020 win for Biden in your list too. He nearly lost despite being in tne midst of Trump ruining the economy and letting a plague run wild.

        It’s support like yours and an unwillingness to hold them accountable for refusing to stand against Republicans and backing right-wing candidates that made the past three presidential elections as terrible as they are. It’s definitely a trend under their leadership.
