Not only does he want countries on their knees begging for a deal willing to give him what he wants he wants major corporations in the United States to be on their knees begging him to do things to make this pain stop and he wants the general public to just keep taking it in the fucking ass!

So many small businesses are going to be destroyed by these tariffs. It's hard to wrap your arms around it.

Awful. Just heartbreaking.

Hate to say it but I do wonder who she and her employees voted for.

Vote no to the Republican Funding bill for the government. This cannot pass. It’s worse than robbery!

It feels like this is... pretty much... the intent.

MSNBC covering the tariffs: talked to many people people on the streets of New York and they show TWO of them. The two? A young lady who said she thinks if the president is doing it, she should trust him and the other had no idea what to think but thought it “might help”. Do better @msnbc.com

The #tarrifs that the US have imposed based on a trade deficit it has which other is simply put like this.

It's the same as if you went into a store and bought $50 worth of stuff, then got mad the store didn't buy $50 dollars of stuff off you so you add $5 to each future order you buy from them

This is terrible, but how can we respect you when you keep voting to facilitate the ethnic cleansing in Gaza?

The impact of the tariffs is very problematic for the US and honestly wished there was multiple workarounds and not realizing it would hurt American businesses, particularly small businesses and etc along with denialism is pathetic and would be nice to help and adapt in situations like this. 🤔

Dryland farmers ALREADY struggled to break even with $4-$5 wheat: their budget would not allow a new $150K tractor or $1.2M combine purchase BEFORE TrumpTax.
Now, not only will American farmers be hurt, but all of us who provide their tools and inputs will, as well.
Please pray for America's farmers

chuckwatkins.bsky.social•38 days ago

But don't just pray: ACT!
The struggles they face are not "Dust Bowl/Grapes of Wrath" God-made issues: these are PREVENTABLE, "own goal" problems made by poor government choices in trade and economy. THIS can be changed by VOTING.
If your state has recalls possible, RECALL (R)s who voted for this.

Terrible Trump tariffs concretely explained by small business owner. Thanks for posting this Senator Warner

Trump voters failed to do homework. It’s obvious they were “educated” by biased media & GOP who covered-up Trump’s unfit/ unqualified/unhinged attempt at leadership (1st election) Trump’s nonstop lies/asinine attacks against Pres Biden/countless crimes are still going strong. Trump is terrifying‼️

I wonder if Sarah tried to contact any American union for clothing, like UNITE ?
Union of Needletrades, Industrial, Textile Employees ? New York & New Jersey used to have many variety of small factories ?

cargobiker530.bsky.social•38 days ago

And now they don't because the buildings that housed those factories are too expensive to lease, the workers need far more pay that offshore workers do to support themselves and people literally don't know how to sew. Among other things the US is inefficient & overpriced.

She said she tried to do that here, but the raw materials would increase her cost and tariffs. The raw materials are not here.
