We were told that tariffs wouldn’t cost the consumer more during the campaign.

We were told tariffs would bring back manufacturing.

Now we’re told that tariffs on the kind of manufacturing we would want are being waived.

So I guess we’re not getting that manufacturing after all?

The new Golden Age of America, folks.
Not even been in office 3 months and it’s killing you Trump is winning and the Democrats have a 20% approval rating

I've been told that the tariffs are necessary for reshoring manufacturing and bringing in revenue. So they'd better be back after the master negotiating is done.
What are you implying,with your veiled threat?
Why does that sound like a threat to you? We vote in this country.
It suggests a negative consequence if the action isn't taken, which is a characteristic of a threat.

Thinking that sounds like a violent threat or something is super weird in a country where the negative consequence for a politician making bad decisions is being voted out of office.

Your TDS has impacted your reading ability.

You quoted me, now show me where I said the word 'violent'.

You really need to finish the 6th grade.

What other kind of "veiled threat" could you possibly have been trying to get me cornered over? You were making a ridiculous suggestion. No need to dance around it.

Could the negative consequence be that we don’t get the promised tariffs and subsequent promised reshoring of manufacturing but higher prices on other goods that aren’t tariff exempted leading to… a GOP wipeout in the 2026 midterms?

The Republican Party isn’t immune from the electoral consequences of broken promises.

As long as the Dems keep being on the wrong side of 80/20 issues the Republicans will be ok
