Nearly 8 million Americans work in industries targeted by tariffs that other countries have imposed in response to President Trump's — and the majority are Trump voters, a New York Times analysis shows. https://nyti.ms/4iRoCH2

I’m sorry @nytimes.com but the people who live in the red districts in flyover land will never see this information because they aren’t going to fork over for a subscription to the NYTs. So if you think this is important, please remove the paywall and let people share it with everyone they know.
I have had the EXACT thought->"If you really like living in a country where its leaders respect and adhere to the First Amendment, then drop the paywall and let everyone read political articles. Because if you don't, then you & ALL newsmedia will disappear, just like the AP did from the White House.
GOP & Project 2025 spent $Billions spreading their propaganda for free for 40 years. The Democrats (Gillibrand) throw other Dems under the bus. The Bidens invite Trump for tea! And Schumer! Clueless at this point. Except for AOC, Bernie, Jasmine, & @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov
Spot on!! Those who are clueless care about themselves and some legacy no one cares about. The others you named care about the future of a country that is being dismantled.
This is what Dem leadership is banking on. They don’t care to try to stop Trump in any meaningful way or show any motivation to go to bat for working people, they will simply wait for the problem to solve itself and people end up back with them “by default”. It’s a shit way to run a political party
A feature of our two-party system, reinforced by leadership. Until people start caring about their representatives stock portfolio and campaign finance, the cronies will continue to rise to the top @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Sorry but Good! Trump voters didn’t believe us or agreed with Project 2025 & trade policy. Many of us Warned them. Unfortunately we must all suffer the consequences of that choice vote. 1 yr 10m we can pause the chainsaw & in 3yr 10m begin the rebuilding of good governance… unless tanks roll out 😳
The NYT makes it sound like "nearly 8 million 'working' Trump voters" 'in tariff-targeted industries' will suffer. The NYT failed to mention that "other Americans" will also suffer, IOW, every single 'American' (citizen or no) in this country will suffer, excluding, of course, 'American' oligarchs.
The problem is that so many indoctrinated morons will blame it on Biden instead of their "Orange God"...
Americans must understand that MAGA is an evil cult and it's supporters can't understand reality as it is and always believe one very lie their "dear leader" spews out...!
😒
I’d suggest reading the story and looking carefully at the areas in the map. Humboldt County Ca is green Siskiyou is red. Both counties will have the same %. These are areas with a small pop. As you move S to Shasta and Tehama the % goes up. Also for Siskiyou the big effect isn’t necessarily
tariffs. Timber is logged and milled here. It can be sold in the US. However, tourism is big. The cuts to FS staff are what will hurt. I meet a lot of foreign visitors in summer out hiking. Beyond tariffs the US is toxic. That’s what will hurt my town.
Tragic result of Trump's tariffs! What was his strategy?!?
Did he think the other countries would let him put tariffs on their products and not retaliate with tariffs on American products?!?
Typical Trump act first think later!!
Re buying F35. The realization that America retains the software and hardware updates are also a huge issue. A potential enemy could upload a virus or a kill command
You can’t just blame these voters. Democrats are doing NOTHING to fight and reach out to these low-info voters. They just sit and pretend to protect the norms and their institutions. Go out to these districts and hold town hall meetings!
I hope it does hit them hardest because only when it directly affects them will they wake up. Seriously disappointed at the journalism coming out of the USA. Where's your backbone? Where's the #Democrat fight back? #DumpTrump
Good, but I’m sure most will blame Biden, Obama, Liberals, the deep state, dead presidents, or who knows what. Anything but the glorious orange leader.
This is about the only thing that makes sense on the whole tariff war. Now please let these victims, yes they are victims of con man Trump, understand who is to blame
This is no accident; it is by design. As much as tariffs can be targeted, they are directed at red states instrumental in voting this rapist felon in! To say we know the majority doesnt want this, and teach closet racists and fascists voting has consequences!
Trump did say in one of his rallies that he just needs them to vote this one time. Then after that, no more. He doesn’t care about them anymore. He already got their vote. He can’t run for a third term anyway or he’s out to become full on dictator with no more elections. Either way, he won’t care.

From alcohol to farm products to aerospace we are in danger of forever losing orders.
Idiots!
Asked
For it
How many millions live there below the poverty line? How many are on Medicaid? How many tens of millions are not "Trump voters"?
No way!
The tariffs may be aimed at red counties, but the coming recession will hit us all eventually.
And everyone reading this thinks that is funny.
