His dedicated followers will, but a lot of low information voters voted for Trump primarily because prices ballooned after covid, and the first tangible effect they’re going to feel from his presidency is a rapid increase in prices.
- tombert 2y agoI just genuinely hope that we are all wrong, and that massive tariffs will somehow lead to prices dropping. I am pretty confident that I am not wrong, but if prices do somehow drop I’ll admit I was.
- pupppet 2y agoEven if prices do go down, are you going to be OK with Trump reneging on the USMCA that was signed on his watch?
- tombert 2y agoNo, probably not. I'll admit that I don't really know enough about unilateral trade agreements so as to understand the details of the USMCA or NAFTA, but it does seem like just reneging on a deal that the US (and specifically the same president) signed is going to lead to a lot of ill will from our allies. I don't really know if countries have a "credit score", but it does seem like it's greatly going to erode away at foreign nations' trust of the USA if we aren't going to honor our trade deals.
