When the Trump Administration hiked import taxes to the highest levels America has seen since the Great Depression, they made us a lot of promises about how we were being “liberated”, starting a new “golden age.” They even told us we’d have dividend checks coming. Anyone who’s been shopping recently can tell you exactly how badly those promises were broken.
They told us prices wouldn’t go up. Trumpflation has cost us more than $1,000 per household so far.
They told us manufacturing jobs would come back to this nation. We’ve seen more disappear every month.
They told us other countries would pay. Instead we’ve taken on 96% of the Trump tariff burden.
They told us those foreigners would beg us for deals. Now our closest allies are deliberately strengthening economic ties with China, so they don’t have to rely on doing business with us.
The verdict is in, and the critics were right. This is an act of economic self-sabotage that’s made things we need every day harder to afford. Putting an end to it is the easiest way to address inflation imaginable.
The Supreme Court has very clearly reminded us that Trump only has the power to unilaterally impose tariffs where Congress has given it to him, and nowhere else. He’s going to find some other set of legal excuses to justify putting them back in place now. You are free to step in and stop him once and for all at any time.
Please take broad-based action to revoke or put guardrails on the president’s unilateral authority to impose tariffs, and do it as soon as possible.
Furthermore, since our highest court has found the federal government took billions from us illegally, it’s your responsibility to return it. We were repeatedly promised a tariff dividend check by advocates for these tax hikes, and now it turns out they weren’t supposed to have taken it in the first place. Give us our money back.
