We haven’t seen much of Trump and if that picture was of him, he didn’t take time to put on makeup. I believe Putin told him that he was not gonna be invited to the party.

Not only will US consumers pay for some or all of this additional cost, it'll be harder for US businesses to export their now more expensive products made from more expensive components. Companies will then try to recoup losses by laying off workers and running faster towards AI.

Tariffs won't cost them a dime. They'll pass them on to their customers.

They cannot pass them all along. either way, they have to be paid at import-upfront-many businesses do not have that much capital & it is a risk to borrow it. consumers are reducing spending. None of these numbers account for the major shrinkage in spend by business that is killing all businesses

But but the DonOld administration says that tariffs have raised billions and produced thousands of jobs and Trump isn’t in the Epstein files.

Funny how this report by big money comes out only after the courts ruled the tariffs illegal.

Oligarchy got tired of buying the up and coming competition. Now they're just going to bankrupt them to secure their monopolies.

Sorry for the random approach You seem to be an ambitious individual which gives me the idea to know if you're open minded to look a new way of generating an income, It may or may not be a fit for you, but if I send you some info, would you check it out?

Worth repeating: Tariff's are a consumer tax on goods. They apply to everyone who buys anything. They are meant to offset Trump's lowering of income tax on the rich and super rich. Himself and his bros. Rob from the poor (and the middle class), give to the rich. The art of the steal.

This is capitalism functioning as intended. The more powerful capitalist lords are getting the government to get rid of their competition so they can further consolidate power.

All they care about is our money. Don't give it to the oligarchs! At least only buy from small businesses (preferably owned by anyone but a white dude).

Trump & Republicans have drastically increased the people tax burdens while gutting the government services we all use The Republicans claim to be anti tax, really they are just anti corporate tax & anti taxing the rich while destroying the average American tax payer with extreme taxation

if tariffs are bad, why do so many countries have tariffs on American goods? eliminate all tariffs

Nice idea, and a good one. Merely entirely impractical, as other countries make their own laws.

I love this for America, and I'm American. This might finally be what convinces the average Republican voter, who has consistently voted against their own interests for decades, that they've been voting for the wrong side.

Correction: their customers face $82.3 Billion tariff-tax tab. And it's shared equally among all their customers, the low wage earners and the multi-billionaires like Elon Musk, the single mothers and their billionaire landlords. Regressive enough for ya?!? bsky.app/profile/thet...

If only the courts could do their courting a bit quicker. I don't understand when a court rules an action illegal, but decides to let the law keep being broken for months, on the off chance that the court got it wrong. Shouldn't the default be to stop the action until a final decision is made?
