Summary
A Harris poll reveals that 69% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs would increase consumer costs, with many planning purchases ahead of his inauguration to avoid price hikes.
Trump has championed tariffs as a key policy to boost domestic manufacturing, but economists and corporate leaders warn costs will be passed to consumers, potentially adding $2,600 annually to household expenses.
While Republicans are more supportive of tariffs, only 51% think they will benefit the economy.
The poll highlights widespread concern over tariffs’ economic impact, especially amid lingering inflation and financial uncertainty.
So 1/3rd of Americans don’t understand how economies work or what a tariff is.
US has lead pipes, piss poor education standards with not enough funding, environmental pollution, bought out media that perpetuates toxic culture
Wut that has to do with anything there saying??!! *cough and wheeze*
The Democrats want to take your guns!
“We’re going to take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times by the time you go to court … it takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida; he had a lot of fires [and] they saw everything. To go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you’re saying but take the guns first, go through due process second.”
Nancy PelosiDude! This is Trumpland! We don’t do reality!
Egad, you’re right! Here, we let reality do us!
Gotta be the same 30-40% that vote trump no matter what he does.
And 20% do, but voted for him anyway…
That assumes that everyone who answered this poll bothered to vote
At this point, with him announcing to all and sundry during the campaign that he was going to do this, not bothering to vote was still a vote.
But you see, the leopards won’t eat their faces!
Tariffs were barely talked about until the day after the election for some reason. So a lot of people learned after the election…
Tariffs were talked about constantly before the election. A lot if people weren’t listening.
But muh eggz
And the other .001% is former president McKinley who Trump assumes is still alive.
They just go with whatever Trump says.
