    Of course he can’t guarantee tariffs won’t raise prices, because that’s what they do. The companies impacted by those tariffs will not eat that hit - they will pass it on to all of us. It’s essentially a tax he’s arbitrarily adding.

    So everyone enjoy the massive taxes he has decided to pass on to you, while giving his billionaire friends massive tax breaks. They aren’t going to care, they can absorb it. Can you? Can your family?

    What a bunch of fucknuts some of us are for putting this corrupt conman back in the white house.

    Hope you will be happy with his stance on Gaza, it will be worse than the current administration, guaranteed.

    Hope you will be happy with the price of goods and “inflation”, you’re about to have a nasty wake up call.

    Hope you enjoy the climate, he’s going to undo as much protections as he can, assisting in our push over the brink.

    He’s going to destroy so much. Hope you all are ready. Next time don’t be apathetic and uneducated. Be informed and do your duty of voting. Vote country over party. Don’t just listen to what news media wants you to hear. For fucks sake educate yourself like your life depends on it because it does.

      Yeah, the entire purpose of a tariff is literally to make imported goods and resources more expensive.

      And not just due to tariffs, but due also to the mass deportations that may now include entire families even if all but one are US citizens or otherwise here legally. Lots of those migrant laborers work farms, slaughterhouses, etc. for poverty wages. No fifth generation red blooded American is going to work in those conditions for so little money.

      “and that’s what I would say if I ever met a conservative on Lemmy!”

      “I might, you never know!”
