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.

    No way to know of course, but if polls are to be believed Biden would have done even worse. The debate performance was abysmal.

      Nobody wants to look sexism in the face, though, and that’s why people are downvoting instead of telling me what I’ve said that’s incorrect. It’s true that sexism had a part of it too, not just non voters.
