Trump is promising to reduce inflation. His plans may reignite it. Trump has proposed imposing unprecedented new tariffs on trillions of dollars worth of imports and deporting undocumented workers on a vast scale. “On the economics, that’s completely insane.”

  1. Trump had no idea what he is doing or how to run a country, let alone keep Melania happy

  2. Interesting, because historically migrants from Mexico and points south pick crops on America’s farms. Recent news stories have highlighted how Midwestern slaughterhouses have been employing migrant Costa Rican children because chances are they won’t complain if injured on the job.

    Anecdotally, I can tell you that where I live, a LOT of low-paid workers in grocery stores and restaurants are from the south of the border.

    A number of news stories over the years have highlighted issues such as household employing migrants as low wage help around the home, landscaping and construction companies employing illegal aliens, etc.

  4. He is only known for bankruptcy – the rest is his fake brand and a marketing show. So expect the worst to come.

  5. Trump is going to impose sanctions on the United States for not electing him last time.

  6. Imposing tariffs directly increases the prices that us consumers pay for goods. Do his followers understand this super basic principle? The cost to import will go up, so companies will charge more and your spending power will go down. How is this hard to understand?

  7. Does Trump hold debt? If so this policy would maybe be beneficial for him…

  8. This has been one of the most frustrating things about Republican economic policy. It has been shown time and time again that immigration is driver of economic growth, from jobs to the creation of new business. Here is a [recent study](https://nfap.com/research/new-nfap-policy-brief-immigration-employment-growth-and-economic-dynamism/). Republicans claim to care about economic growth, but they ignore one of the largest factors in driving growth. I wonder what the real reason is that Republicans oppose immigration?

  9. For policy trump is a two trick pony. Tariffs and attack immigrants. Both blindly.
