No biggie. So everything I buy will probably double in price. It’s not like I’m on a fixed income or anything…oh…wait a minute…I’m retired and I AM on a fixed income like a lot of other people. Well, I need to lose some weight. Should be easier now that I can’t afford to eat!!!
I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests on Saturday, April 5th. If anyone wants a printable file of it, please message me : ) Find out more about the protests here: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/
Not only a tax increase. A price increase as well. If an imported good goes for a price of 100$ and is taxed to 125$, why would an equivalent domestic good be priced at less than 125$?
This will be devastating for companies that export as there will undoubtedly be reciprocal tariffs so US manufacturers foreign sales will plummet. Price increases in the US will be terribly regressive. He must be intentionally tanking the economy. And then there’s the diplomatic stupidity…
The only thing I see him trying to do is to fuck the economy up so bad that the feds have no choice other then drop the interest rates. Who does that help when we are still broke? Billionaires who now will be able to borrow money from the government cheaper.
While the tax increase is massive, it won't change the lives of upper middle class or wealthy much but it will posterize everyone else. Fixed incomes will be crushed.
And they know that. I'm sure when he was first talking about tariffs, he really thought the foreign country paid the tax. And now that he and his whole cabal know the truth, they are just doubling down and not shifting from the lie.
Not tax increase period. A tax increase that is highly regressive, will not lead to any better jobs w/o support for unions (not happening) that will isolate us further while the rest of the world moves on from this failed state. I think I have my answer to the Miss him signs. F*ck no!
Just How Long Did It Take Some Low-Level Adviser To Convince Trump To Use That Lame, "Stop the Fentanyl", Excuse - To Again Levy These Dumb Tariffs-That Will Again Only Harm Americans?

Explain WHY they’re doing it! Obviously Elon & Peter Thiel want this as part of their plans for the future…. so what are they thinking? Why is this useful to them and the future they’ve planned for themselves/America/World?
The US can’t sustain itself, this is crystal clear, the big lie is that you can get everything you need from your isolationist tariff policies. You can’t, note begging for eggs just last week. Americans will want his head very soon. Tourism in the toilet, Pariah country. Bad to worse.
One problem is that people keep using the term "tariffs" and most people don't get how they work. People know what a tax is. Call it what it is, an import tax on consumers.
It is time that the American consumer re think their spending. Try to re use! Re purpose. Live within your .eans. Show that CABAL you have a certain power.
Now hold on a minute. I was listening to Karoline Leavitt, and she has assured us this is a tax cut for the American people. Plus, Pete Navarro said it’s the “biggest tax cut in American history,” so there!
But... but Mexico is going to pay for it.
No... Canada?
No... Greenland?
No... Panama?
Ukraine? Europe? CHINA?
WHAT? it's a tax on Americans? How does that reduce the price of eggs?
I think the Tangerine Tyrant may be "misleading people "
And hopefully enough people read the billboards CANADA paid for to educate people in backwards red states, or watched or heard the ads. But, you can't fix stupid or stupid cultists.
They’re all Import Taxes, call them that. His most ‘beautiful word ever-tariffs”, needs to be erased, and Import Taxes must replace it.
Because, that’s what they are, and folks get that. For some reason, “Tariff” isn’t understood. Words and all…
I’ve heard that automakers are increasing their cost on leftover 24 vehicles 25%. Last weekend was a record for auto sales to avoid the tariffs before they were enacted.
But he said he would, campaigned how he would, and still: tens of millions voted for the tax increases AND, the macro-economic consequences from them. 😑
It’s a tax increase and the revenue won’t go to providing government services or reducing the debt- it will go to huge tax breaks for those who don’t need them. Democrats and those scared for reelection GOP members need to fight back now.
The message on billboards in 12 states: Tariffs are a tax on: your grocery bill, at the pumps or on Hardworking Americans. Courtesy of the Government of Canada on behalf of Canadians from Sea to Sea to Sea.
Poor Donny. Your daddy loved you even though he smacked you around and called you stupid and told you you were useless and wouldn’t amount to anything. Poor, poor little Donny boy. Daddy really did love you. But you’ll never really believe that, will you?
That's actually a side effect. Trump's doing it to force companies and countries to do his two favorite things: come begging and pay him bribes to make carve outs.
That’s right. It’s an imports tax and we pay it. It will raise rev. It has nothing to do with fentanyl or unfair practice. He needs us to fund the billionaire tax break AND he wants to alienate us from our allies- just like cult leaders alienate members from their family…and it’s working.
The real intent of Trump's tariffs is to shift money from the taxpayers to the government where the oligarchs in power can manipulate the funds to their benefit and pockets.
PPL really are stupid if they don't understand, or not to care that a tariff is paid by us, the ppl. It's not going to save the government one dime but it will cost us $$$
Americans are going to feel the pain of these taxes relatively quickly. Households experiencing a 25%+ increase in cost of nearly everything they buy, from utilities, to groceries and everything else. Insecure job market will experience a surge of redundancies as companies have to layoff staff.
Took my Genesis in for service and asked them how much they like these new tariffs. He said oil changes were $125 yesterday and $165 today. Literally overnight. They expect US sales to decline. So much winning…😳🙄
It didn’t have to be this way, but I’m so tired of the chaos that I feel like the sooner he puts the economic bus in a ditch, the sooner we can start climbing out.
It is. I’m slightly smirking though as the 2018 ‘Tax Cut and Jobs Act’ raised my federal taxes 28% (a blue state tax to buy red state votes) so though it’s a tax on me at least it’s a tax on all of the 99% this time to pay off the donor class.
Was shopping for new car right up til yesterday with ALL dealers charging sticker..told them I can wait it out if they can..I’ll see them when they start begging me to buy a car..until then? Adios.
Tarrifs didn’t cause the depression but they helped make it a lot worse and lasted longer than it should. Crypto and sketchy investments will cause another economic collapse, though.
Of course it is. Everyone with a basic comprehension of economics knows this. He can spin (LIE) all he wants, doesn't change the facts. His moronic base is in for a rude awakening.
I agree - thump is cutting services and applying tariffs to build a coffer to wage war against Canada, Greenland, Panama, and others. The rich always get richer during war and thump has a lot of legal bills to pay.
It’s a tax on the citizens who are raising families, retired & have medical issues/bills; those who can least afford to pay more for food, housing, medicine.
Here we all sit waiting to see how perhaps the greatest economic and political disaster to ever befall us as a nation will unfold. Absolutely unbelievable.
If he either had courage or a true belief in them, Orange Shit turd would be announcing his tariff policy at 10 Am instead of waiting for the markets to close.
It will give him a chance to see how the Far East, European and currency markets react before Wall Street opens. Will he row back if the response is unduly negative, blaming everyone but him?
I expect that he usually leaks his intentions (can't keep a secret!), giving his fellow conspirators plenty of time to short the markets. Mind you, he publicly said what he was going to do some time ago.

what will happen is that almost nobody will, they'll just take their business elsewhere and with just cause and the support of their own governments.
you can just stand there and watch us trade with each other as you spiral into the abyss
#TerminationDay
you're part of the problem
The wealthy make money regardless of conditions. If the markets tank, they buy. If they rise they sell. They make money no matter what.
Fuck the wealthy!

SELLING CARVE OUTS for $100k each.
It's TAXES. period.
Another Trump catalyst for other countries to expand trade and security efforts excluding the US.
If you already see thousand$ added to cars, and they say it's because of tariffs, ask them...
"Unless that car cleared U.S. Customs this morning, why are you making me pay for a tariff?"
And Wall str. Knows it too.
Which will make it easier for those angry people to blame migrants and minorities and the disabled and the poor.
Which will give MAGA Republicans more power and influence over their base.
It's a perpetual motion self fulfilling prophecy machine.
(but they used their right to vote )
100 mill nonvoters gave a flying fuck about everything
They are pretty much OK with this nonsens too
Please don't Buy
Shit you don't NEED.
Thankee.
The tax increase is so the rich can have a tax decrease. Period.
