🧵We are now seeing the first effects of Trump's tariff...and they're ugly. Send this to every MAGA who still insists that this tariff agenda is "working." Let's walk through the data and revisit why tariffs are a fool's errand: 👇👇👇

Americans will pay on average 37% more for clothes due to Trump's tariffs, and 7% more for fresh produce. Tariffs will add around $6,000 to the price of a new car (remember, cars made in the USA will be affected because of imported parts and materials). wapo.st/45oGpQD

Donald Trump has slapped a tariff rate of 50% on Brazil, one of the steepest in the world. Yet the country imports more from America than it exports, and exemptions will soften an already light blow economist.com/the-americas/2…

America will pay the price for Trumpian tariffs. Growth was underwhelming and inflation disappointingly high in the first half of the year. But the full toll of the dismal new policy will be felt over the long term econ.st/41wMHfU Photo: AP

Oh, so Donald J. Trump is lying about DC crime stats to justify federalization or marital law. This is dictionary definition tyranny.

#Trump supporters keep saying that if he was in the #Epstein files, #Biden would have used it. Well, it turns out Ghislaine Maxwell offered Biden the dirt on Trump. Biden refused it because he wouldn’t pardon a pedo like her. Read for yourself. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices agreed to pay 15% of their revenues from chip sales to China to the US government as part of a deal with the Trump administration to secure export licenses. This Federal shakedown of private companies is unconstitutional, as are export taxes.

Anyone going to lecture us on government interference with the market?

Trump wants you to think he's tough on crime, while he just cleared a convicted pedophile to leave prison for work release. Full story: rawstory.com/ghislaine-maxw…

Trump is going to bankrupt this country like it’s one of his casinos. The U.S. deficit blew up in July, even with a record surge in tariff revenue—costs that we are paying at the checkout. 📌 Trump’s spending spree burned through revenue faster than it came in.

There were 34 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of July.

oh boy. Trump is not going to like that Fox panned his big summit
