Is this any surprise to anyone, except the MAGA faithful. What other outcome did any critically thinking person expect would happen when you put a failed businessman in charge of the world's largest economy. A businessman whose businesses have failed without exception.
And why did the MAGA faithful believe exporters would absorb 40 to 100% tariffs on their exports to America. And they only have to open a dictionary to read that tariffs are an import tax, paid by the importers and passed down to the consumers.
So now the receipts are coming home and the idiots who believed everything FLOTUS told them, despite the fact that he told over 38,000 lies in his 1st term, are finally waking up to the fact, that they have and are still being royally shafted by the current administration.
Well, let this be a wake up call for them for the up coming mid term elections
The part that still amazes me is how many people were convinced tariffs were somehow “paid by China” instead of being passed directly into the supply chain and eventually onto consumers.
That misunderstanding alone may end up costing American households thousands.
And now we’ve got a full year of data showing what happened when political slogans collided with economic reality.
A majority of americans were never convinced that tariffs would do anything remotely positive for anybody except the Don(g)'s groupies and shameless "investors". Gangsters have been plundering the US and international systems for decades but a harsh reckoning (foreshadowed by economic failures you've noted) is coming that will stalk "Project 2025" zealots. World history is full of grandiose gold ballrooms that inevitably became decrepit junkyards. The People includes ignorant factions but, in the main, isn't fooled nor impressed.
Meanwhile the Regime mouthpieces (Bessent, Lutnick, Hassett etc) proclaim the greatest economy in the history of the world, and the real world looks on with our jaws dropped to the floor going “seriously?”
Add to this the removal of rules and regulations on monopolies, mass firings in government and letting AI tech bros run amuck to replace humans with stolen data and you have masses of people unemployed with limited spending ability adding to that economic chaos. Moodys also indicates that over half the US states are in a recession, guess which colour those states vote?
I lived through the supply chain whiplash last year and it was hell, contingency plans on top of contingency plans all resulting in higher prices that for the most part were only starting to come down post pandemic.
When you elect a failed businessman to run your country into the ground the results are predictable.
