Trump needs to pissoff sure let the criminal be President so he can commit all the crimes in the world. I think uts disgusting and people are getting thrown in jail because of crimes they commit well they should be let out because if Donald can get away with it then why can't ever one else. LEAVE PEOPLE'S JOBS ALONE THEY ARE SUFFERING ENOUGH

When tariffs have to be inevitably lifted for wrecking the US economy, just remember that prices go up quickly but take their sweet ass time to come back down.

You people are so foolish for putting this clown back in the White House

Trump should follow all weapons traffic to Mexico. Where are all the weapons manufactures responsible for all deaths caused my those weapons.

Solution to tarriffs if they drive prices, up? Boycotts. Consumers still have the power. And never forget how prices fell, during Covid. Sent capitalism and Wall Street, into a tailspin. Did you forget? That's how you ended up with more money, in your pockets. You stopped, spending.

Here we go again... People forgot he did this in 2018 already?

[Arcturus-One]

Can someone explain to me how additional taxes is supposed to lower costs? Plot twist everyone: Most 'American' vehicles are built in Mexico or Canada. You think they cost too much now?

[milliebean]

🤡🎪=trumpf
His supporters overwhelmingly stated that the economy is their top concern….now when trump reveals his proposed tariffs, proceeds to say that cost is no object 😂

[Anne_Onymous]

Nice to have someone stand up for America for once.

This has needed to be done for decades. These countries have already had tariffs on us for a long time.
