Summary

Critics slammed Trump for admitting his tariffs may cause “short-term pain” for Americans, contradicting past promises that they wouldn’t raise consumer prices.

During his campaign, Trump insisted tariffs would only hurt foreign nations, not U.S. families. He also vowed to lower costs for essentials like groceries and utilities.

Now, he acknowledges economic hardship but claims it’s necessary to fix trade imbalances.

His remarks sparked backlash, with many accusing him of downplaying the financial strain his policies could impose on millions.

    It’s implicit. Biden is the one who invited all 25 million undocumented gang members into the country. Biden is the one who failed to renegotiate the 45th President’s disastrous Cal-Mex trade agreement. Trump’s bold new policies will fix decades of Democrat evil - you’ve made him hurt you. You deserve this, until you learn to behave.

    Straight out of the domestic abuse handbook.
