Thinking about building a new house in the next few years? You can tack on $14,000 to the price tag thanks to Trump’s tariffs on Canadian lumber and steel. So much for lowering costs on Day 1.

He lied about every positive thing he promised and ran on like lowering prices.

That's just materials costs. How much more will labor cost? And that's assuming you can find a contractor with enough staff to build your house. How long are wait times going to get? How much worse is this going to make the housing shortfall in the USA? Thanx, tRump. #somuchwinning

Just copper that you don’t get to see is $1,000 extra, if you use PVC pipes for water.
