You Let Trump’s Tariffs Wreck the Economy—And We’re Paying the Price

Shame on you. You sat by—or worse, cheered—while Donald Trump reimposed chaotic and senseless tariffs that experts warned would devastate working families. Now we are watching the consequences unfold in real time: food prices are up, consumer inflation is rising again, and everyday Americans are once again footing the bill for your cowardice. The latest CPI report shows inflation reaccelerating in June. Economists point squarely to Trump’s reckless new tariffs and trade war threats as key drivers. These aren’t abstract policy mistakes—they’re real price hikes on groceries, medicine, clothing, and essentials that working families depend on. They’re another blow to people already struggling under a system rigged to benefit billionaires and political cowards. You could have stopped this. You could have passed legislation to rein in this authoritarian economic sabotage. But instead, Congress has stood silent, paralyzed by partisanship, fear, or complicity. History will not forget that. Your failure has consequences. You’ve allowed a twice-impeached, criminally convicted former president to tank the economy again, and your refusal to act makes you complicit. The American people are not pawns in your political games. We demand accountability and real action to repeal these disastrous tariffs, stabilize prices, and protect working-class Americans from the fallout of Trump’s extremist economic agenda. Do your job. End the tariffs. Stop the chaos. Put people over power.
