These April 2nd tariffs are outrageous. A 10% blanket tariff on everything we import? That’s not economic strategy — it’s economic sabotage.
Prices are going to spike for everyday Americans. Groceries, clothes, tools, medicine — all of it will cost more. Small businesses that rely on imported parts or ingredients will get crushed. Jobs will be lost. And for what? There’s no plan here. Just chaos wrapped in a press release.
Even worse, this stunt trashes our relationships with key allies like Canada and Mexico. These are our neighbors, our trade partners, and our friends — and you’ve just slapped them in the face with tariffs based on some fantasy version of “reciprocity.”
And now we’ve got Elon the Brick — the unelected king of ego economics — calling the shots? Did you hand him the keys or did he just take them?
Let’s be clear: the Constitution gives Congress the power to set tariffs, not the president. Using emergency powers to bypass lawmakers is a dangerous abuse. Letting a tech billionaire whisper trade policy in your ear? That’s even worse.
End these tariffs. Tell Elon to back off. Before more damage is done to our economy, our democracy, and the lives of everyday Americans.
