Trump’s tariffs: a masterclass in making “America First” mean “Americans Pay First.”  
The admin swore tariffs wouldn’t raise prices, yet Walmart’s pots/pans jumped XX% by July 2025. Their CFO admitted “steep tariffs” forced hikes on essentials from milk to car seats. CPI hit XXX% annually by June 2025 as households lost $XXXXX on average—proving tariffs are taxes paid by you, not China.  

This isn’t trade policy—it’s economic self-sabotage. The same admin that bankrupted casinos now bankrupts budgets: GDP will shrink X% long-term, wages drop 5%, and unemployment rises XXX% by 2025’s end. Yet Trump claims prices are “LOW” while Walmart’s coffee climbs 17%.  

We teach kids to stand up to bullies. Now we elect them.
