President Donald Trump's tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 last year, according to new research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

The cost is set to go even higher this year to $1,300 per household, assuming the existing tariffs stay in place, the research said.

According to the research think tank Tax Foundation, the federal government collected $264 billion in total tariff revenues in 2025 -- far short of the trillions regularly touted by the White House. The research also finds the tariffs will offset most of the economic benefits of the new tax cuts from Trump's signature tax law that took effect this year.

Tariffs, which fluctuated through 2025 as the U.S. struck trade deals, primarily affected the cost of electronics, toys and cars that aren't manufactured domestically and foods that are grown abroad. The price of coffee rose by 33.6%, ground beef by 19.3%, romaine lettuce by 16.8% and frozen orange juice by 12.4%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

[I Really Mean It]

democrats are poised to take the house AND the senate in the midterms.

the lead up to november, as republicans see how dire their fortunes are, is going to get very ugly.

i think there’s going to be blood in the streets this summer.

But I thought he was the ultimate businessman? I thought we were going to be winning so much.

How could the average family be LOSING money when DJT is supposed to be a top level negotiator?

The Senate is still a long shot tbh.

 

[bnew]

it's a "stupid tax" for those who voted for him and those who didn't think voting mattered which the rest of us who voted against him are forced to also endure.

Oh, you know they are gonna start some shyt.

The only way they can win is through distraction, coercion, fear, and flat out cheating.

However, I'm starting to think he's pissed enough people off, even though there's an entrenched 30% that has brain rot, I think voters that never voted before or voted inconsistently will be out in droves, even in red districts.

I think the only way MAGA can win is to either flip votes or just shut the vote down entirely.

Shutting it down is the only that will really work, because this admin is so stupid it will be apparent and sloppily done that they flipped votes.

They are the dumbest conspirators ever. Like literally EVER.

shutting down the vote will absolutely trigger an uprising, to which he’d then respond by invoking the insurrection act.

 

[Wargames]

Dumb as fukk Americans

FTFY

Your order is messed up. If he shuts down the vote the revolution is already started. Him calling that act is like putting a condom on after you came. It's pointless and you look stupid. You’ce already given up your presidential authority for the authority of being a dictator.
