Blue-Collar MAGA Voters Are Paying $1,300 More Per Year In Trump's Tariff Tax - The Logical Leftist

[TexasTowelie]

Trump's tariffs are now costing the average American household $1,300 per year in 2026, according to the Tax Foundation - the highest effective tariff rate on imports since 1947.

The Supreme Court struck down Trump's IEEPA tariffs as unconstitutional, so he immediately signed new tariffs covering $1.2 trillion in imports under a different authority.

Tariffs are not paid by foreign governments - they are paid by American consumers at the register. Lower-income families bear a disproportionate share of this cost. The trade deficit Trump promised to fix barely moved. The manufacturing jobs boom he promised did not materialize. The $1,300 annual household bill is not a side effect. It is the policy.

1. There was some NPR thing about how the tariffs would lower

Costs using some bogus economic model where people would stop buying and so the price would drop. It was some serious chin stroking elbow patch wearing pipe smoking horse shit.
