Summary

A Harris poll reveals that 69% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs would increase consumer costs, with many planning purchases ahead of his inauguration to avoid price hikes.

Trump has championed tariffs as a key policy to boost domestic manufacturing, but economists and corporate leaders warn costs will be passed to consumers, potentially adding $2,600 annually to household expenses.

While Republicans are more supportive of tariffs, only 51% think they will benefit the economy.

The poll highlights widespread concern over tariffs’ economic impact, especially amid lingering inflation and financial uncertainty.

There are 258 million adults in the USA. Almost 77 million people voted for Trump. Which is about 30%.

I think we can all deduce which 1/3 of Americans are too fucking dumb to understand Trump's tariffs are a bad idea.

What about the rest who were too dumb to vote at all and got Trump as a free gift?

They suck, but not as bad as the people who actually voted for trump? Trump voters are the real evil assholes.

I'm guessing you already know this... but that is literally the reason why A&W's 1/3lb burger (launched to compete with McDonalds' 1/4 pounder) failed lol

They should have called it the 2/6th as 2>1 and 6>4!

I'm still amazed the party that preaches tax cuts, are vocally adding taxes, and they still got votes.

"He didn't mean it. He was joking."

"He's not gonna hurt me, I'm white..!"

"They're only going after the bad ones."

All quotes come directly from family that will be affected by Trump's shit. They couldn't care less though, because they believe the shit they say. They'll be fine, it's just everyone else that's fucked.
