Summary
Trump dismissed concerns over his new tariffs, calling them a “little disturbance,” despite warnings from retailers and even some Republicans about rising prices.
With inflation and cost-of-living pressures still top concerns, Trump blames his predecessor, but Democrats argue his policies will worsen the situation.
Critics warn tariffs on allies could hurt manufacturing and farming, giving Democrats a rallying point ahead of midterms.
If prices keep rising, Trump’s economic stance may become a political liability, despite his strong voter support, potentially benefiting Democrats seeking to regain power.
Only if they get off their lard asses and do something.
Ah but you forget. Democrats suck at messaging and don’t know how to use anything to their advantage. If anyone could fuck up messaging on this, it’s democrats.
Maybe they could look to Serbia for tips on being an opposition party.
This reads like a comment from r/conservative. Pessimism and whining get upvotes though, so congrats on the internet points, I guess.
Apparently the DNC just needs replaced by Lemmy. They got it all figured out behind their keyboards.
Why would the Democrats do ANYTHING that goes AGAINST Trump? That would SCARE AWAY Republican Voters (who they’re trying to Court INSTEAD of their Already Democratic Voters!)!
Democrats are to weak-willed and stupid to do anything with this.
