Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

$3.9T to all consumers...
... roughly works out to approximately $11,200 per living American, or about $22,900 per currently employed American, or about $30,000 per American household.
Roughly 17% of American households live off of less than $30,000 a year...
... So ... that roughly works out to 55 million Americans who would become homeless and starve to death, as they would have functionally zero income after baring this tariff pass thru cost.
A great reason to not vote for Weird OLD 34, who doesn't know how tariffs work and is counting on voters to not know how they work.
Don’t forget that he also wants to increase taxes on the middle class. It’s a part of Project 2025.
It's like you dummies don't remember 4k graphics cards.
The vindictive anarchist in me wants to see what happens when the US crashes and burns, but if Trump gets in it is going to empower the right-wing nut-jobs in other countries too. We will all crash and burn.
Literally just shows up as a headline for me. I'm wondering how it was calculated and if it's also factoring globalisation shift where the US will lose out to other countries if it's financially more viable to seek manufacturing or consumer markets elsewhere, losing foreign revenue, consumer income for expenditure, etc.
