The rest of the world is moving away from gasoline more quickly than the United States is, including the Global South.

    Yeah sure WE decided to do that. Even many of the people who voted for the pedo-in-chief don’t like the tariffs.

      I was told recently by an American that tariffs were a good thing if you just believed in them and Trump. He explained that for a $100 product, china pays $30 of the tariff so you only pay $70. What a discount!

      Be like that dude and you’ll be happier.

        He’s going to be upset when he goes to make his first purchase and that $30 goes to the government and not to him. This is just raising taxes ffs.

        Looked up the polling and that’s an unusual sort of ignorance. A broad majority of American’s think tariffs will raise prices, even through the long term.

          All the Americans I know in person believe tariffs will lower prices.
