📉 Farmers, automakers, and consumers—brace yourselves. The reintroduction of #TrumpTariffs could ripple through every layer of the U.S. economy. While the intention may be to protect American industries, history shows these tariffs often trigger retaliatory measures, hurting exporters and raising costs for everyday goods. From soybeans to smartphones, the fallout lands on the shoulders of working Americans.
Tariffs are essentially taxes paid by importers, not foreign governments. The costs trickle down, inflating prices at the checkout counter. Small businesses, already navigating a complex global market, may be forced to cut jobs or close altogether.
Economic nationalism may sound appealing, but we’ve been here before. The last wave of Trump tariffs disrupted global supply chains and failed to bring long-term manufacturing jobs back home.
The world is watching—again. Let’s not repeat past mistakes under the guise of economic strength.
