President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff regime is already reshaping global trade and spiking government customs revenue. But these historic import taxes could also push more Americans into poverty, according to new research.
An analysis published by The Budget Lab at Yale on Tuesday finds Trump’s tariff hikes will likely increase the number of Americans living in poverty by 875,000 in 2026. This increase includes an additional 375,000 children in poverty.
Honestly, good.
These idiot Americans who voted for the “economic anxiety II, fascist boogaloo” that never did their own research deserve it.
Yes that means they suffer, that means I suffer but I’m honestly going to be okay with that.
Americans need to learn and if it’s a hard lesson that involves the dildo of consequences that rarely comes lubed, so be it.
Have the day you voted for because I’m having the day I don’t vote for.
Pretty sure we didn’t vote for this.
Some did and that guy is fine with punishing the rest of us for it
