Summary

Donald Trump is poised to impose massive import tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China, effectively raising taxes on U.S. households by an estimated $3,000 annually.

Unlike past tax increases that targeted the wealthy, these tariffs disproportionately impact low- and middle-income workers.

While Trump claims the measures address immigration and fentanyl concerns, experts argue they serve as a revenue source to offset tax cuts for the rich.

Critics contend that Trump’s tariffs lack a clear industrial strategy and primarily burden American consumers.

    My point is the people we’re constantly complaining about not voting, some didn’t vote because they didn’t vote for Harris to be the primary candidate. I am not one of them, but I think it’s a valid argument.

    What I’m getting right now is knee jerk reactions to me saying Biden shouldn’t have dropped out instead of poopooing on the non voters like everyone else.
