Reckless Tariffs, Real Harm: Stop Trump’s Trade Gambit

President Trump’s reckless tariffs are already hurting American families. The Yale Budget Lab reports these tariffs could cost households an average of $2,800 in 2025 alone. Prices are climbing across the board; textiles are up 40 percent, fresh produce 7 percent, and vehicles 8.4 percent. For working families already struggling with the rising costs of housing, food, and healthcare, these increases are not just inconvenient. They are devastating. This isn’t economic strategy. It’s a political stunt with serious consequences. J.P. Morgan estimates these tariffs could cost the U.S. economy nearly a full percentage point of GDP this year and put more than 600,000 jobs at risk. Experts say this is the largest tariff hike since World War I. These are outdated, damaging policies that place the burden on the backs of working Americans while the wealthiest continue to enjoy tax breaks. Congress must act now. Reclaim your power and pass legislation to rein in these tariffs. We need smart, targeted trade policies that protect workers and consumers without fueling inflation. The American people deserve real solutions, not impulsive decisions that make life harder. Stand up, take action, and stop this before the damage becomes permanent.
