Cool, a Trump sales tax. Will it bring manufacturing jobs to the US? No, but it’ll help offset tax cuts for rich people by shifting some of the tax burden to poor people for 4 years and give them cover for downsizing.

Then when we elect a corporate-friendly Democrat to undo some of the damage in 2028, corporations can just lower prices by 5%, claim a win, and enjoy another collective price gouge. Fake inflation taught us that consumers will just suffer through their bullshit and blame whoever’s in office.

Then in 2032… another fascist can do tariffs again.

What a great country.

I so wish he does that.

Then very, VERY quickly, Americans would start paying out the wazoo for the stuff they used to get for cheap - because Mexico and China sure as hell ain’t footing the bill, something Trump very conveniently forgets to mention.

And then guess who’ll they’ll blame? The orange utan in the White House who promised to make them richer but instantly made them poorer instead.

Americans punished the democrats for economic issues that were largely out of their control, and they’ll just as quickly turn against Trump if he makes their situation even worse. In fact, they’ll turn against him even harder because he promised to fix the economy.

So yeah, please Donald, make my day. Do it!

American decline speedrun bby

The headline should read:

President-elect Trump is threatening sweeping new, higher product costs on American people as soon as he takes office.

I bet those eggs will be super cheap though.
