I am in business, Trump's tariff policies are poorly thought out and negatively impact not only myself but many others as well.

You are a dumbass Jim.

The 27 nations that make up the European Union are the United States’ largest trading partner. American companies and consumers imported more than $600 billion worth of goods from the E.U. last year. Canada also ranks as one of the most important trading relationships for the United States, with more than $400 billion worth of Canadian goods imported into the country last year.
Speaking Wednesday before the European Parliament, the E.U.’s top trade official, Maroš Šefčovič, said negotiations were happening between the two sides “every single day” to avoid getting one of Trump’s tariff letters.

“Crucially, while other nations faced increased tariffs from the United States, the result of the letters that President Trump sent out on Monday, our negotiations have spared the E.U. from facing higher tariffs,” he said.

The E.U. has more than $100 billion of retaliatory tariffs on standby that can be implemented quickly. Some of the retaliatory duties target goods made in red states, such as soybeans from House Speaker Mike Johnson’s home state, Louisiana, and bourbon from Kentucky.

Who pays for tariffs? Citizens in Red States whose standard of living is maintained through free trade.

Jtex dumbing all of us into a lower standard of living.

Let us ignore the fact t the Constitution does not grant this power to the President.
