I personally don’t listen to only one side I listen to both sides and do my best to be open minded and try to understand.

It’s my understanding that the tariffs that Trump is talking about if implemented will hurt the common man. The reason is that if he raises the tariffs the extra cost will be passsed on to the consumer.

For example, minimum wage being raised gets passed to the consumer.

It makes sense that if tariffs are raised that it will be passed to the consumer.

I’ve learned what Trump says and what he actually does can be two very different things. Trump is a talker, and I don’t trust his “talk,” but I trust his actions. I think right now he’s trying to put a good fear level into other countries by making threats of tariffs, but I think that’s all it is, just scare tactics.

Actually, what has hurt 'the common man' was for the U.S. to allow him to become dependent upon foreign powers for goods and services. You have your lib friends to thank for that. If he weren't dependent, he wouldn't feel any kind of tariff. You have your lib friends to thank for that. But the answer isn't to allow the U.S. to be blackmailed into submission.


Bauer noted western dependencies on supplies from China, with 60% of all rare earth materials produced and 90% processed there. He said chemical ingredients for sedatives, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and low blood pressure medicines were also coming from China.​

"We are naive if we think the Communist Party will never use that power. Business leaders in Europe and America need to realise that the commercial decisions they make have strategic consequences for the security of their nation," Bauer stressed.​

I didn’t ask how we got here. I’m asking if the tariffs increase will the increase be passed to the consumer????

If so? How is this good for the average American??

First, the relief from the assaults for which they're being imposed; and second, it will wake them the 😶 up.

Savvy?🧐

No offense taken. And thank you. Admittedly I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed :-) I’m old. Enough to be ok with that.
