President Trump is imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China to force them to help the U.S on illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
The media and other Democrats are complaining that it will cost Americans more than $800 even though Trump’s tariffs in his first term caused little if any inflation — tariffs don’t cause inflation, government money-printing does.
During the election they predicted the cost would be $4,000. Historical results mean little to Democrats.
Somehow the media campaigned to reelect Democrats even though their monetary policies, printing cash like there was no tomorrow, caused more than 20% inflation in four years. That means a family spending $70,000 in 2020 would have had to spend $14,000 more per year just to keep up but somehow they are now worried about $800 more?
