Summary
A new YouGov poll reveals widespread disapproval of President Trump’s recent tariff policies, with 51% of Americans viewing them as “the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history.”
The survey shows 50% disapprove of Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs announced April 2nd, which imposed a baseline 10% levy on all imports with additional tariffs on specific countries.
Trump escalated tensions by threatening China with 50% additional tariffs if they don’t withdraw their retaliatory measures.
Even Ted Cruz expressed concern, calling tariffs “a tax on consumers.”
So what? The election is over for at least another 18 months or 3 1/2 years - if there is another full election. Doesn’t matter now that Trump already had their vote and won. 99.9% can disapprove and nothing will change.
Presidents have been impeached. And, know what? The people ARE the government. Don’t forget that!
Nothing will change because of a poll. A lot can change if people organize, get out in the streets and take direct action.
