President Donald Trump has announced far-reaching new tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners — including a 34% tax on imports from China and 20% on the European Union, among others.
“It’s going to have an impact on employment and jobs, but sometimes to fix what’s really broken, you’ve got to put a little pain in it,” said John Clauer, another retiree who voted for Trump.
“I just think that people in other countries need to recognize the position that we’re in. And understand that his tariffs are being used to try to rebuild the United States economy, and to bring the deficit under control.”
Several Trump supporters who spoke to CBC News share this worry.
It’s so weird they always look outside to fix the American problems.
Instead of heavily taxing the American billionaires and giant corporations plus halving the defense budget, if only for a year or two, they expect to claim money from outside of the US to fix it all.
They’ll believe whatever they’re told to believe by their respective “information sources”…
Curious to see how the MAGAt sources will spin the coming recession/depression.
