In a WalletHub Fed Rate survey, 74 percent of Americans said Trump's proposed tariffs would likely lead to more inflation down the line.

Summary

A new WalletHub poll reveals that 74% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs will worsen inflation, which remains a major concern for most households.

Trump’s plan includes significant tariffs—up to 60% on Chinese goods and 20% on other imports—to protect American jobs and address issues like fentanyl production and border security.

Experts warn these tariffs could increase consumer prices, with middle-income families potentially losing $2,500 annually.

Analysts caution Trump’s plans may face political hurdles in Congress despite his economic-focused campaign promises.

          Weird how people aren’t talking about the major shortcomings of the democratic candidate anymore. I wonder why that might be.

          If Kamala was vocally anti trans rights you’d be sitting here like “why doesnt anyone talk about trans rights anymore, those damned russians at it again”. No, it’s tablestakes that the right is awful. You’re on a left leaning platform, most people here oppose the genocide. Obviously there was going to be vocal pushback on how your candidate sucked on an issue that basic.

        It was and they won! Now with Trump in office no more Palestinians will suffer! The humanitarian crisis is over, god-emperor himself said he wants Israel to “finish what they started”. He must mean that war needs to end, what other interpretation could possibly be accurate? I thank Jesus personally every night for helping the man win who wants to jack inflation right back up after it’s finally started taming. Our economy is in the right hands!

      As often as people beat that drum, it’s nothing but an excuse for most. They don’t have any actual thoughts or opinions on the economy. Just voting on vibes.

        I think it’s that and “the grass is greener” fallacy. “I’m upset with things now so I’ll vote for somebody different because it might be better.”

          and “the grass is greener” fallacy. “I’m upset with things now so I’ll vote for somebody different because it might be better.”

          Canada is on our way toward falling into that same trap.

          It’s frustrating to see the right wing party so far ahead in the polls when they have nothing to offer except “We’re not that other guy”.
