Summary

A new WalletHub poll reveals that 74% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs will worsen inflation, which remains a major concern for most households.

Trump’s plan includes significant tariffs—up to 60% on Chinese goods and 20% on other imports—to protect American jobs and address issues like fentanyl production and border security.

Experts warn these tariffs could increase consumer prices, with middle-income families potentially losing $2,500 annually.

Analysts caution Trump’s plans may face political hurdles in Congress despite his economic-focused campaign promises.

    They voted because of “woke” and immigrants. A guy on social media told them those are the real problems we face.

    I can’t believe how little we are acknowledging that social media is currently being used to manipulate voters not just in US but also in Europe. Why people think that what happened in Romania didn’t also happen in US? And is not happening in other European countries?
