The public expresses overwhelming negativity towards Trump's new tariffs, highlighting concerns over economic repercussions, rising consumer costs, and potential harm to international relations. Many commenters feel betrayed, skeptical of the effectiveness of the tariffs, and criticize the government's handling of economic issues, calling for a reevaluation of U.S. foreign policy.

Didn’t realize kitchen cabinets were a national security issue and an emergency

So with a 100% tariff on imported pharmaceuticals Trump only has (checks math) 1100% to go to fulfill his promise of lowering drug prices.

polkpanther

Every single company is raising their prices! This is all because of trump and the dumb voters who voted for this asshole.

PaleAthlete1040

Trump expected to announce tarrifs on tarrifs next week.

Can’t wait to spend 100% more on literally everything

Oh well, our pills are still free since he lowered drug price by 1000, 2000, 10000 percent like no one has ever seen before, many people are saying

We gonna have random shell companies “building” here while 99% is still imported.

No wonders Canada is looking at any other Countries for trade, this man cannot be trusted

Great.  10YR bonds are up aka mortgages and so is furniture and the kitchen remodel! This is fine!

Don’t worry folks. China is the one who pays the tariffs!

Was Vance consulted on this tax on upholstered furniture?

leggmann

"There will, therefore, be no Tariff on these pharmaceutical products if construction has started," Trump said on Truth Social.

  
ok so no tariffs acutally? That is very bullish for most pharma stocks

So which cabinet company straight up bribed him into this one? And should we go long that company?

luciform44

Great let’s just make housing costs rise even higher, just what this country needs

caustictoast

Fuck Trump. Fuck these policies. I despise *everything* the GOP is, what his supporters are, just pure rage at what is happening. A bailout to Argentina, socialism for farmers because his tariffs have failed, and now drugs and KITCHEN CABINETS???

Go to hell you all inbred Trump supporters. Hope this hurts you the most.

ILoveTheAtomicBomb

Thursday evening, like clockwork.

Marken manipulation in the open.

Trump and this admin dont care about the country or its citizens.

There is going to be insider trading and insiders (including in the white house) benefiting from this.

Yes, by all means, let’s further f%#! over the American public

demagogueffxiv

If a president is actively dand pretty objectively hurting the economy and country, don't the American people have recourse to act outside of just voting? Or do we just get to sit back and watch for the next 3 years and do nothing?

We said every year it’s something going on, now with this idiot it’s every day! White house is full of sharks ready to eat you alive!

Can't believe he's doing all this because word is coming out that he was Epstein's lover.

I don't even get the pharma tariffs. Just need to have one factory in the US or what? Isn't that all of them?

jcpopm

Isn't the supreme Court decision about the illegality of these tariffs coming up like October 10th?

jpric155

So it’s gonna be even more expensive to build a home now. Back to the mines I guess.

Jpat863

This is just wealth redistribution to the wrong places. Shakedown the population and businesses he does not like, do giveaways and corporate welfare to those he does, meanwhile his family personally profits greatly

fairlyaveragetrader

We great yet because I feel fucking embarrassed

Phyukredd_tit_gydlin

It's so hard to separate parody from reality.

Sanhen

And companies will raise prices in order to offset paying their fair share! Ridiculous. Companies need to pay more and not just pass it on.

VIad-Lenin

It's going to be interesting to see what the threshold for determining that "construction has started" is going to be. I'd be willing to bet a perpetual construction project would be a lot less costly than the market share hit the tarrifs would bring.

Seems like it would be pretty easy to manufacture a bunch of regulatory hurdles that grind progress to a halt on a large construction project, at least until 2028.

Yay, way to raise new home prices across the United States, and raising the costs of remodeling for everyone else!

Tariffs on porn next. Too much porn is foreign. More porn in the USA. Unless your porn is made in the USA, tariffed.

Stop taxing the machinery then. We dont make shit here. If they want us to open Factories they have to stop taxing the machinery needed to open that factory.

Thank God. I was worried prices were getting too low.

Futures are green on the news. Lol. I guess that 1% dip was too much of an overreaction.

toonguy84

just remember this when they pass a bill to bail out farmers using the revenue these tariffs generated, that's the government reaching into your wallet and handing your money directly to some asshole selling soybeans to china

gayteemo

And to think some people are actually praising this guy, this has absolutely no effect on him. Why are you morons supporting the government that is actively making life more miserable for us? You know back in the day before we became cowards we would actually stand up and tear this government apart. 

This country is pathetic.

I just fucking got an accepted offer on a house and the cabinets were going to be the biggest expense in our budget. This motherfucker is trying to ruin everyone’s lives.

Well I’d say most Canadians find the US unfavourable right now.

Franklin_le_Tanklin

Truth be told, us Canadians aren't too fond of Cheeto Jesus and the tariff only makes our conviction to spend money elsewhere that much easier to justify. #buyCanadian

YEGRD

you can tell that this makes no sense just by looking at the first position…

tobsn

By unfavorable do you mean to trump? To the US?

High_Contact_

Great chart but I think it needs a bit of context. For example Canadian tariffs top out at 35% but not really. First, for USMCA covered items there is no tariff. So currently 90% of Canadian products imported are duty free and the rest tariffed at the  quoted rate of 35%. Some back of the napkin calculations puts the actual figure for Canadian tariffs at around 3.5% average tariff rate, not bad right? But the exception to exception is there is a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum which applies to Canadian production as well so now the average rate is higher than 3.5% but not sure what it is with the new wrinkle we added. I think energy is 10%, lumber and non-complaint vehicles are 25%, and I might be forgetting something.  That pushes the average higher still.

Mexico also has different rates and exceptions and the same thing for other countries but to a lesser extent. It’s not worth detailing all of the rules since they change frequently and there isn’t logic on why they are what they are.

To use Canada again as an example, tariffs range from  0% for UCMCA complaint products, 10% for energy, 25% for lumber and vehicles, and 50% for some metals (despite being Canadian not because of it).

One of the reasons the expected damage has not manifested yet is because the headline tariffs are either temporary (Liberation Day tariffs paused shortly after announced), do not apply to high volume imported products, if applied at all have long lead times before the product hits the sales floors (product from East Asia typically takes 30-45 days to deliver), or are being eaten by the importer (such as Ford).
The anticipation of the tariffs had importers bulk order products which delayed the impact by allowing us to buy tariff free product for 2+ months since they were announced. Some importers did not raise cost and even took the loss once they finally did pay them with the hope that the tariffs would be short lived, companies cannot do this indefinitely. 

My opinion is that the tariffs would have been as disastrous as advertised but the damage has been blunted by the pauses, proactiveness of business, and the wait-and-see approach by importers/retailers. Some structural damage has been done to world economies and the major consequences are starting to manifest slowly but surely. I think nuance is needed because many people still think tariffs are a good thing or that tariffs aren’t that bad since, for example, we have 35% tariffs on Canadian goods and things seem fine still. Of course the nuance is that a 100% tariff on rain boots from China make them go from $20 to $40 which people can live with but if you do the same to a high end laptop you go from $1,500 to $3,00 and they will notice immediately. If you declare a 100% tariff on Chinese goods and exempt electronics people have an impression that the tariffs are not as harmful as advertised because they hear one thing and see another.

But no tariffs on Russia, how interesting
