This might not be a big deal to a guy who just made hundreds of millions by using his office to enrich himself with crypto cash but for the working (or retired) guy, that's likely going to be a big nah. :rolleyes:

Tariff Gambit Bets Americans Will Swallow Higher Prices

Excerpt:
QuotePresident Trump's sweeping tariffs are expected to raise the cost of cars, electronics, metals, lumber, pharmaceuticals and other products that American consumers and businesses buy from overseas.

But Mr. Trump and his advisers are betting that it can sell an inflation-weary public on a provocative idea: Cheap stuff is not the American dream.

"I couldn't care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars," Mr. Trump said on NBC's Meet the Press show on Sunday in response to fears of foreign car prices spiking.
