#TrumpTariffs – What’s the Real Cost?
Former President Donald Trump is back in the headlines with talk of new tariffs, including a potential 60%+ tariff on Chinese goods if re-elected. But what does that mean for you?
🇺🇸 The Pitch:
Trump says tariffs will bring jobs back, protect American industries, and reduce dependence on foreign goods.
🧾 The Reality Check:
Higher tariffs = higher prices at the store — from iPhones to furniture.
Businesses pay first, but consumers feel it last.
Trade tensions could worsen, potentially hurting global markets.
🏭 Who Wins?
Certain U.S. manufacturers may get relief.
Tariff revenue goes to the government.
🛒 Who Loses?
Everyday consumers (inflation risk).
Small businesses relying on imports.
Global supply chains.
🧠 Bottom Line:
Tariffs aren’t a magic fix. They’re a strategic tool — but if misused, the cost trickles down to your wallet.
