Frustrated Americans await the economic changes they voted for with Trump
Fed up with high prices and unimpressed with an economy that by just about any measure is a healthy one, Americans demanded change when they voted for president.
Summary
Americans, frustrated with high prices despite a strong economy, voted for change with Donald Trump’s election. Trump promises to reverse Biden-era policies, vowing steep tariffs, tax cuts, and mass deportations.
Economists warn his plans could worsen inflation, increase the federal deficit, and destabilize growth. The Peterson Institute predicts Trump's tariffs could drive up costs for American consumers, while deportations could shrink GDP by $5.1 trillion.
His proposed tax cuts could add $4.1 trillion to the deficit, while economists question his willingness to address fiscal imbalances through spending cuts.

Good luck with the tariffs, fascist bootlickers ❤
People genuinely don't understand this and it's scary.
I feel like I'm going crazy explaining what a tariff is to people over and over who have never heard the word before but are praising it as a way to make everything cheaper and boost our economy
The same dumb-dumbs think Elon is both a brilliant businessman in the way he's running Xitter (now worth 80% less. I don't have an MBA, but I think that might not be a good way to run a business), AND think he would be just perfect for "fixing" our "wasteful" government spending.
SMH.
You silly! Elon told us he's running it as a "reverse start-up".
