Summary
Trump’s sweeping global tariffs are causing rising consumer prices, market losses, and job risks, but his administration defends them as necessary for long-term economic independence.
Critics warn the tariffs hurt low-income households dependent on cheap imports, especially from China.
Officials argue the American dream isn’t about “cheap baubles,” but higher living standards. However, economists say tariffs worsen inflation and housing affordability.
Despite past GOP support for cheap goods, MAGA allies now downplay short-term pain.
I stil cant believe this narcissist is the god damn president of the United States. Every day im actually surprised to not be having a nightmare.
Im not joking. The man has no empathy and he is running the United States now.
He’s the president AGAIN.
It was a coordinated effort by the rich and white, Christian nationalists.
