John Deere Cuts Jobs, Home Depot Raises Prices. End The Trump Tax (Tariffs)!

Today, John Deere laid off 238 workers, and Home Depot is raising prices. Both point to one cause: Trump’s tariffs. These are not targeted economic strategies. They’re knee-jerk moves that punish American workers and families. When tariffs make raw materials and goods more expensive, companies cut jobs or raise prices. It’s that simple. We’re calling it "The Trump Tax." It’s a tax on every family trying to build, repair, or grow. It’s a tax on small businesses, homeowners, and entire industries forced to absorb higher costs. Home Depot warned that half its inventory is American-made, but imported goods still carry higher costs. That means less money in people’s pockets at a time when most families can’t afford another financial hit. We demand that Congress take back control of tariff policy. Hold hearings. Bring in real economists and small business owners. Pass laws that make tariff decisions deliberate, not impulsive. This economy needs thoughtful planning, not political stunts. Americans deserve leadership that prioritizes stability, not chaos.
