President Trump’s new tariffs are being sold as a way to boost America and stick it to foreign countries, but let’s cut through the noise: these tariffs are just another tax on Americans. Tariffs aren’t some magic fix; they’re a burden. When you tax trade, you get less of it, and who pays the price? We do. Importers and American companies foot the bill, and they pass it right along to us through higher prices. Look at the last 70 years: more trade has meant more prosperity, not less. Trump’s pushing a 10% blanket tariff, 25% on cars, and even higher rates on places like China. That’s not ‘winning’…it’s a tax hike dressed up as patriotism. History shows trade lifts us up, while tariffs just weigh us down
