Summary

A new WalletHub poll reveals that 74% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs will worsen inflation, which remains a major concern for most households.

Trump’s plan includes significant tariffs—up to 60% on Chinese goods and 20% on other imports—to protect American jobs and address issues like fentanyl production and border security.

Experts warn these tariffs could increase consumer prices, with middle-income families potentially losing $2,500 annually.

Analysts caution Trump’s plans may face political hurdles in Congress despite his economic-focused campaign promises.

    Get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore.” - Donald Trump, July 26th 2024

    He meant it when he said that. He doesn’t give a single shit what polling says about his plans. Americans already gave him what he wanted and thus no longer serve a purpose to him. He’s going to get his tariffs no matter how much it fucks over the useful idiots that voted for this fascist dictatorship and there’s nothing you can do about it. Because that’s just what happens in a fascist dictatorship, so you’re going to have to start getting used to it.

      I believe he will aggravate people enough to riot, declare martial law, stay in power indefinitely a la some of these other clowns running some of these other countries into the ground.
