    Been browsing the conservative subreddit this morning just to see what they all are thinking. There is a surprising number of “This is a terrible idea” comments but its also funny seeing a whole bunch of republicans who now suddenly like higher taxes, inflation and stock crashes.

      In essence this policy primarily imposes taxes on businesses, severily reduced the wealth of the billionaires, properties this forum often applauds. Funny how suddenly it’s not liked.

      US politics really is like picking a favourite sports team :D

        Because we all know these good-natured corporations will bear the brunt of this in order to keep prices the same for US consumers.

        Actually, aren’t you forgetting that Trump said the foreign countries will be the ones paying these tariffs? Take care not to step out of line with the regime.
