Companies should start listing the Trump tariff tax at the bottom of receipts with state/federal/local taxes rather than rolling it up in the price listed on the shelf. People need to see what it would be had the orange Cheeto wasn’t purposely manipulating the market and destroying our economy.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

1. As someone who sources and imports medical products for acute care hospitals and ASC’s- there is no doubt that these tariffs are going to shock the economy. Most companies don’t have the margin to spare and thus prices are going to have to go up. That’s not just for consumer goods.

2. It’s also for life saving medical devices that are often not manufactured in the US at all or if they are they are 2-4x the cost of Mexican or Chinese made products. Remember- US companies pay the tariffs. Not the other country. US companies are going to have tough decisions to make.

My 15-year-old is so anxious about the state of things in the U.S. right now that she’s packing ‘go bags,’ just in case we need to leave in a hurry. I had to remind myself that she is only controlling what she can control with this escalating threat to all of our lives and livelihoods. Scary times.

The people who have spent a decade or more screaming about the evils of a New World Order are the same people who just gave the real New World Order all the power. Is it irony or simply fear manifesting?

Over 400,000 Americans died fighting the horrors of fascism in WWII—now we have Trump henchmen mimicking a Nazi salute? It’s a disgusting insult to their sacrifice and a chilling sign of where we’re headed.

You are up to date.
