      No great loss, American alcohol (other than craft beer) is generally pretty rubbish. American craft beer is top shelf though.

      This country will not survive Trump and his administration or Republicans.

    3. The US outright lost the trade war with China. There is no gray-area there.

      Don’t worry! If those ultra-wealthy alcohol producers complain loudly enough, he’ll bail them all out with our money.

      Why haven’t prices gone down at all here in the US if there is little/no demand from other countries?

    6. As an American citizen I stopped buying American whiskey when Dementia Donnie started his trade war with our allies.

    7. Ah poor billion dollar businesses ! What about what the tariffs are doing to the poor, middle class and elderly? Consumers are the ones footing the bill the companies that export are facing tariffs in other countries that their customers pay.

      Apart from a local distillery where I know the owners, I haven’t bought shit from Kentucky, Tennessee, or any other big producing state in a while.

      You want me to start buying again? Show me you’re not MAGA bitches.

    9. Tariffs or not going forward- it’s over for these guys. There’s no official government legislation that stops Canada and the EU from buying American alcohol, those countries just stopped. Canada cost Jack Daniels about 15% of their business because they don’t want to have anything to do with us. When the US starts tossing around „make you the 51st state“ and „100% tariffs if you don’t comply“ the people in other countries just stop buying our stuff. The long term destruction for the US is there’s no reason to think we will ever stop being the asshole to these countries.

    10. no no no it’s obviously crushing other countries and there is so much tariff money he can just bail out American booze makers and it will be awesome and it will own the libs

      We can only hope Trump stops the US poisoning the world in every way it does.

    12. If you think a businessman would be great to run your country,maybe get one that doesn’t bankrupt everything he touches.

      Most of the major „American“ alcohol makers are owned and controlled by foreign companies.

      Even Budweiser, the „most American“ of beers in owned by a Belgium company.

      And all those American companies that are getting destroyed by Trump are passing on their increased costs to Americans. It’s the most efficient demolition job Trump has ever performed.

      Kinda ironic, I sort of doubt consumption is down. He’s not exactly inspiring the opposite.

      Trumps kinda killed brand America. Reputation is hard one but easily lost. Even assuming that the US does manage to get rid of this slide to authoritarianism it will take years to reverse the damage he has done. But I don’t see anything resembling a real election on the horizon for the US.

      Trump winning was always going to be the end of democracy in then US. HE TOLD YOU SO ffs.

    17. The devil loves to make people suffer. He’s doing a great job of that anyway.

      „Some of you will lose your homes, cars, and maybe even go bankrupt. But it is a sacrifice that I am willing to make.“

      That’s what they get for betraying America. They all worship Trump.

    20. Aren’t millennials and gen alpha basically drinking half of what their predecessors did? I have a liquor cabinet that far outstrips my interest in drinking. I’ve been iced into my house for a week and I haven’t even finished off my partial bottle of Kahlua.

      Gotta make space to flood the market with cheap Russian vodka because all the Russian drunks have been killed in the trenches

      I love this for them. Thinking of you Moore County TN. You Bible thumping hypocrites. Hope Lynchburg becomes more destitute than it already is. Womp, womp.

    23. If anyone can save the alcohol buisnsss it’d be the dude who attacked Ilhan Omar. 2x divorced, 10x DUIs, the dude was drunk off his gourd that day, I mean shit.

    24. Don’t worry, everything is tougher for our manufacturers, but it’s ok, because it’s ALSO tough on all of our consumers. Those things offset, right?

    25. Corrected headline:

      >Trump’s tariff war is crushing American ~~alcohol makers~~ economy
