The short of it is, tariffs are bad for everyone except the US government and the producers of the world's most inferior products.

Shit is going to get bad no matter what. So with that said, the shit that's bad that will hurt Republicans? Bring it on. Get rid of the guns. Bring on the tariffs. Get all the FAFO shit to occur. I'm already part of the group who will be getting the worst repercussions of this administration. I want all his followers to suffer for their votes. They need to understand politics is more than "OWNING THE LIBSSSSS".

I'm like 50% sure the blanket tariff announcement is to force other countries to come to the table for revised trade agreements, but then again it is Trump we're talking about.

Yeah, that's why I had to find another link. It was a few months ago. I'm starting to remember a bit more, that it was fact-checking for the debate.

BBC article on the effects of the proposed tariffs:

The National Retail Federation (NRF) has warned that tariffs along the lines of Trump's campaign proposals would cost US consumers between $46bn (36.6bn) and $78bn more annually for apparel, toys, furniture, household appliances, footwear and travel goods.
By NRF estimates, a $40 toaster, for example, would rise in price to $48-$52, while a $50 pair of athletic shoes could jump to $59-$64.

Then again, Trump's reasons for doing this are not entirely to do with economics.
'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'.

Probably not even them TBH. The economy trickles up not down. The only winners will be Trump Musk and Murdoch.

"While it may be true that tariffs have resulted in higher prices for consumers basically every time they have happened in the past, we can't be 100% sure this will be the same as every other time until the tariffs actually start. Therefore when democrats say tariffs will make prices go up, this is a half truth."

I almost feel like I want this to happen, to have the economy be thrown into recession or worse, just so the idiots can get what they voted for.

Im pissed cause I eat a lot of fruits and veges lately, so I have no way to avoid spending more money. I knew Trump would do tariffs, but I thought we had a few months at least.

People, even Fox News like Maria Bartiromo said to Trump's face in an interview about tariffs and how they work. Questioning them. Doesn't matter. PUNISH CHINA and the entire overall right wing disinformation campaign was too much.

Elon already said most people should expect "hardships" in the next 2-3 years.

Their plan is to tank the economy so all the billionaires who have cash lying around can buy up everything for a tiny fraction of what it would cost right now.

CNNs homepage is really hammering tariffs are going to raise prices. So strange they were unwilling to do that before the election.

The media wanted Trump to win for two reasons; their tax cuts and a dancing monkey. Now that they have their dancing monkey, they're going to make it look as goofy as possible.
