Are Trump products going to experience the same tariff? Will Trump and Ivanka try to sell their products to Trump supporters at those increased prices? Should be interesting. We've been stocking up on clothes and household goods. When those prices go up, we just won't shop.

What if you were suddenly earning more money? Gonna stop buying then? Either way, more stuff for me

American dream will march forward, with or without those willing to contribute.

With iPhones, and many other products, it's going to be more like 45% increase.

Like I said, I don't recognize the Republican Party right now.

Tariffs? Wow. Where'd that come from? What happened to all that free trade stuff?

Seems you want to take the corporate welfare and pretend it's not welfare .

$24 million in little Indiana in the past 3 years. How many billions do you want people to subsidize factory workers with corporate welfare in the US so factory workers don't have to retrain/reschool/relocate. You look down on non-corporate welfare recipients like they are losers, while you support corporate welfare as if it's better. Welfare is welfare.

Many people won't pay the tarrif. It will cause people to go to competitor products and force companies like Apple to have massive layoffs in their entire company, and vendors which do business with them to do the same. This will have a ripple effect and send the US economy in a downward spiral. The layed off workers won't spend money on stuff and this will cause more economic ripples - car sales will decrease, vacations will decrease, restaurant spending will go down, restaurants will lay off, etc.

All of this due to an attempt at "take the country back" to 1950.

Well GM received a taxpayer bailout and ran straight to the Canadian border to build the Gen IV camero,

Now they are moving production of some of their vehicles to " Communist Red China " and paid alot more tax to the
Communist chinese than they did in America.

If they want to share in the wealth created by this nation, they should have to work for it. Unless they physically, and perhaps mentally lack the means to work. And that extends beyond the snowflakes that don't want to work. They can beg on the street or live in an Obama shelter like the rest of the bums that are too good for work. That's how our system works, or at least, that how I think it should work. And if they do not like it, they should leave, just like the bum corporations that want to extract all the wealth from this nation and it's people, while contributing very little of actual worth here. They should leave as well. The sooner, the better. And hopefully, they will take Obummer and the rest of the communist sympathizers with them.

New sheriff, new rules. You and your guy had their chance, and the people spoke. Time to flush this turd and allow a real leader to propel America forward.
