leaving EU did the same, went from tarriff free to up to 40% tarriffs yet few listed pre the vote, & some are still using every excuse to justify why Brexit didn’t desert the country.
Under Trump‘s new Russian regime, designed to make you fight your neighbours for life’s essentials, you can kill your neighbours and eat for a day.. or…
One billionaire and feed a nation 🤷
So 1) why isn’t congress objecting, they and not the potus have constitutional authority to enact tariffs, 2) Rs like tariffs cuz it’s one way they can hit populous blue states harder, since the constitution prohibits unequal treatment of DIRECT taxes between the states. Wake up America
Of course the American tax payer will bare the price in taxes. Importers will look elsewhere but not reduce competitive costs; they have to make a profit
This is a paradigm shift. Trump is cutting taxes on billionaires and replacing the funds with tariff money.
Tariffs are essentially a national sales tax on working people. Did Team MAGA really think Trump would not help himself and his rich friends at their expense?
All part of the plan: wealth redistribution from the working class to the oligarchs. The fact that people voted for this shows that much of this country is just as terrible as Trump.
But if you're a billionaire, the couple of thousand dollars is nothing compared to what you will save by extending the Trump tax cuts for the ultrarich.
And they can also buy up the skyrocketing US debt for even more profit!

If you didn’t vote for Trump.
Get organising to resist it.
