Don't forget that it is we the American consumers that ultimately pay the tariffs.

Hang on, it will get better. Just don't panic. Give it a little time.

Sounds like the truth hurts ?

That's a lie Jim

7. Smoot-Hawley Tariff (1930): The Great Depression's Misstep

Also known as Tariff Act of 1930 or Hawley-Smoot Tariff

As the Great Depression gripped the nation, Congress raised tariffs[8] on over 20,000 goods. Instead of helping, this move backfired[9]-other countries retaliated, global trade plummeted, and the economic crisis worsened.

Key takeaway: The Smoot-Hawley Tariff is a cautionary tale about the dangers of protectionism during economic turmoil.

A lot has changed in 100 years....whats your point?

In 1909 the American government was run on tariffs.

"The dollar has lost almost 10 percent of its value since Inauguration Day, with more than half of that decline coming this month after the president's decision to lift taxes on imported goods to their highest level since 1909."

Thought yall said the cheeto was going to make the dollar strong.
