The more the costs of tariffs are passed through to the consumer (as they will always be in any profit-driven system), the more the ire will pick up.

Whatever you might've thought of Clinton (assuming you're old enough to actually remember his presidency), he was right about one thing:

"It's the economy, stupid."

Bombast and arrogant proclamations all sound awesome right up until you realize it's not *just* the "other guy" who's going to suffer.

Nah, its just the left screaming loudly that everything is failing after tariffs are provably working. It was even leveraged to resolve a few wars.

Another leftist slop, nobody but the leftists are turning on Trump. Gaming consoles are the responsibility of the company. Sony for example raise their prices to offset the tariffs shows it was the company that passing the costs to the consumers.

Trump is sitting pretty, people.

The tariffs are genius and beneficial to Americans in a big change-at-the-margin way.

Looking at the dissenting opinions, this Democrat roadblock will be removed by the Supreme Court. Thanks Democrats for using lawfare to cast doubt for a spell.

And here come the doom sayers.

Why would the rich to be complaining? They can afford to buy entire country if they wanted to.

Independents are turning on Trump also. It's just MAGA cultists still supporting him. Also, he should release Epstein files.

Yes, that's how tariffs work. Importers will up the cost to sellers to cover the tariff cost, sellers will up the cost to customers to cover the increased cost from importers/wholesalers.

So in the end, it's US customers who end up paying more out of pocket. You'd know that...if you were a US citizen.

The left are living rent free in your non-american head.

So the benefit is a 10% consumer cost increase?

At a minimum?

Thanks. I always did struggle in Macro Econ.

Are you sure Trump voters aren't just ignoring the issues with tariffs?

If acknowledging that basic Capitalist practice it to pass increased costs to the consumer constitutes a "meltdown," pass the special coat that lets me hug myself, I guess.

There is no "issues" to begin with. Why create an issue out of thin air? It the company that passes along the price increase to the consumers. How is it Trump's fault? The real question you should be asking why the companies are so greedy to increase the prices for their own profit?
