Trump's tariffs on imports from China, Canada, Mexico, and the EU have indeed been analyzed as a major tax increase. The Tax Foundation describes them as the largest U.S. tax hike as a percent of GDP in over 30 years.��

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

Tariffs are not going to eliminate income taxes — they would need to bring in 10x more revenue for that to happen.

Since Trump took office, only upper-class wages have outpaced inflation. Everyone else is losing purchasing power.
