Trump’s Tariff Tantrum Will Cost You

Trump’s latest genius economic policy decision? A 25% import tariff on Canada and Mexico. He swears this will boost U.S. manufacturing jobs, but here’s what it’ll really do: raise consumer goods prices in America. From higher grocery costs to increased car prices, get ready to pay more while multinational corporations find loopholes to protect their profits. And let’s not forget, U.S. import tariffs aren’t paid by foreign governments—they’re an economic tax on American consumers.

Your paycheck isn’t getting any bigger, but your bills definitely will. The wealthy will be fine, but middle-class American families? Hope you enjoy higher prices on everyday items while pretending this is all in the name of “economic patriotism.” Meanwhile, U.S. automakers get a temporary tariff exemption. So corporations benefiting from tariffs get special treatment, and regular people get stuck paying more. But sure, let’s call this America First economic policy.
