    I mean anyone with common sense knew this and knew that his tariffs were an indirect threat to tank the economy.

    It’s just a shame that half the country thought he can fix it.

  2. Other countries get cheaper and better quality stuff AND healthcare?! Guys I feel like we’re getting scammed a little

  3. I find it incredulous that there is anyone that doesn’t understand how tariffs work at this point. Once again, the exporters don’t pay anything when they ship. The goods arrive at the dock or a truck and offload whereby the importer pays the tariff and then it’s worked into the cost of the goods and ultimately, all us poor bastards pay the increased costs.

    Now this is Trump’s flawed logic comes in to play. He believes the increased costs you pay will entice manufactures or companies run by billionaires to build industries based on competitiveness to get costs lower and thereby raise employment in the US. But, here is where it’s flawed since most billionaires won’t hire people at all in today’s world. They will simply in time build dark plants that use robotics and keep that extra money to once again gain more wealth leaving the average person to still pay more for everything.

    You mean to say that things happened in a manner consistent with ow said things are defined?

    Exactly what we knew would happen. It wasn’t ever about bringing jobs back to the US. It was about stock market manipulation to make President Shitiot and his buddies richer than ever.

  6. Turns out tariffs worked exactly like everyone without a political agenda and 2 active brain cells said it would.

    USA Today up to snuff with economics when a google search on Smoot Hawley would have been all they needed to do.

  8. Any one who knows how the system works should not be surprised by this. Unfortunately we have some who don’t and blame the democrats for it.

    I am getting closer and closer to saying F-IT and start claiming my pets as dependants. Its not like im not covering everything for them, and maybe then my finances will stabilize.

  10. No shit. His flat tax idea and external revenue service was just more bullshit..

    All while we foreigners simply reduced our consumption of American made goods and travelled to the US less. Because honestly 1/3rd of you voted for this, 1/3rd of you didn’t bother voting against this, and the vast majority of you are doing fuck all to oppose this.

  12. It’s a tax on imports. It’s paid by local goods getting more expensive. Not very complicated

    Some larger companies have been absorbing at least a portion of the tariffs, thinking they would be short term. If they fully pass on the costs the affordability crisis will get worse

    In other obvious news, republicans suck for the economy, rich people are pedos, and braking news. Water is wet…

    At least Mexico is paying for the wall…they are paying for the wall right?

    There are billions in taxpayer dollars set side to fund corporations to pay for these tariffs. This is US taxpayers directly funding trumps political experiment.

    It’s crazy how my business owning, tariff paying, trump supporting MAGA father that can’t understand why he’s seriously hurting right now still thinks China is and refuses to raise his prices because of it

  18. Beginning-Pace-1426 on

    Remember the MAGA posts where people couldn’t understand why they were paying more for their imported goods?

    Like they thought that tariffs meant that everybody so desperately wanted to do business with them that they were willing to pay simply for the opportunity. This cult thinks they are the most important people in the whole goddamn world, and that literally every goddamn nation in the world owes *them* something.

    The end of the minimis exemption cost me a ton for sure. It’s death by a thousand fees.

  20. ElysiumSprouts on

    It’ll end up being more than 12 years of this Trumpflation before anything can begin to get better.

  21. StarStruck3 on

    Yeah, that’s… Been pretty common knowledge, unless you’re MAGA and refuse to listen to anything other than Fox or OAN.

    Not like this will get through to his dumb fuck supporters who are too busy trying to rationalize why the higher prices they’re still paying are somehow Biden’s fault

    You know, despite his campaign promise to bring prices down “on day one”

  23. I watched the store brand coffee go from $8 to over $12 after the tariffs, so I know all about it.

    Are we growing coffee in America now? America is renowned for having tons of equatorial land suitable for growing coffee after all.

    It’s the way we tax ourselves in today’s world. It might mean lower income tax.

  25. PinkNGreenFluoride on

    Well, yes. That’s how tariffs work. That’s a big part of any 11th grade Econ class.
