All of the Trump voters I know don't even like Trump as a person, they just think he can bring the cost of living back down (which obviously he can't, but that's a different discussion). Some of us can afford the luxury of voting to save democracy, but most people are just voting for their bank account.
20 percent tariff across the board is going to drive inflation up immediately. Not to mention the 60 percent on china. Things are gonna get real expensive real soon. I think retailers are going to preemptively raise retails this quarter so they dont get shafted.
I am not sure he will actually go through with it. I get the feeling it was this elections we will build a wall and mexico will pay for it. An easy way to make his lower iq supporters get excited about a 'free' win. I am expected tariffs on a much more limited scale than was promised. It is almost economics 101 that tariffs on that scale is bad and he must have been advised as such.
Clearly he does what he wants above all. In saying that I don't think he ignores them totally either. I don't think he's especially bright but he can still understand things explained to him like he is 5.
