The Press forecast devastation from Trump’s tariffs and (at this moment) Mexico and Canada threaten to jack the prices on everything in retaliation. Certainly CNN, MSNBC, ABC, PBS, etc. told you we already pay 25% tariffs on most of what we buy from Canada and Mexico, and 20% on most of China’s output, right?
They did tell you that, correct?
They surely also mentioned that the purpose of tariffs is to protect national products and increase homeland manufacturing. Tariffs are intended to raise foreign prices and make better quality merchandise available here in the US. An example is automobile and small truck engines built in Mexico. We pay 25% tariff. That barely edges out cost of a plant in the US. If Mexico now adds a second 25%, guess how many motors will ship from Mexico by September or October. They’ll be opening plants here, probably quickly, to satisfy the demand for cheaper cars than those that come from Mexico or Canada.
Congressional Democrats have no idea, and they are not sharing it with you, but it is so easy to see, unless you are closing your eyes. Of course, every corrupt and greedy politician in the world is scared right now. So the Press want you to be, also. You must learn to hate Trump all over again.
