Today's price-increasing Trump tariffs are another betrayal of ordinary Americans and come on the heels of Trump freezing job-creating infrastructure projects, corruptly turning over Americans' private data to Elon, recklessly gutting aviation safety committee, and doing nothing to increase wages.
Please acknowledge their real intent while posting. You’re still talking about all of this as if their intent was the interest of the USA, but trump is literally putin’s puppet. They ARE trying to crash the economy to make people poor & at the mercy of oligarchs and destroy the $ to push cryptos
Joey - explain like I’m dumb. Whose pockets are the tariffs aligning? If i was the bad actor and i wanted tariffs, how does this help me? Or is it more the point to put more low income and minorities into poverty to kill then off (similar to white ppl learning covid is more dangerous to black ppl?)
It decreases competition for US companies and allows them to raise margins. It also increases the tax burden on consumers (workers), which partially allows for the massive tax cuts for high-income earners that republicans are trying to push through congress.
