"The tariff was not well received by Americans who suffered a steep increase in prices. In the 1890 election, Republicans lost their majority in the House ...In the 1892 presidential election, Harrison was soundly defeated by Grover Cleveland."
My Mom is still alive (96) and remembers the last one. She is furious that she has to live out what she believes is the last years of her life with the orange moron in OUR Whitehouse. He must be evicted. She deserves so much better than this. We ALL deserve so much better than this!
The recession started in 1929. The Tariff Act made the recession into a Depression. The period of GDP decline last 3 years and 7 months. The Tariff Act was introduced 9 months in, with the exact same reasoning behind it as Trump's. It was only after the tariff act was repealed that it ended
Beginning to think Trump is expecting secret personal payments from countries to get tariffs removed or lowered. Remember everything is transactional and for him. He doesn’t give a shit about the country
