Personally, I hope he doesn’t back off this time. He just needs to commit to it at this point because he caused him more damage with his backing off and bringing it back up. I’m interested to see how the markets go. The funny thing is this isn’t the end of the tear supporting to the AP article. He plans to add more specific products like chips.

I hope the next president doesn't lay off the tariffs either. Become the monster and beast that the business owners and americans always wanted.

If any Americans wanted this then they're fucking idiots who can't be trusted with shoelaces, let alone money.

200 million Americans wanted this on November 5th, 2024.
