A Tariff War Was Declared Against Trump
TEHRAN (Iran News) But, and what a big but, he was unaware that in the short term, higher tariffs would blow back into the eyes of the American people themselves, causing inflation and a rise in prices.
Now, a report by CNN shows that the majority of Americans in new polls emphasize that the cost of living in every sector—from food and housing to healthcare and energy—has increased sharply, and contrary to the Trump administration’s claims, prices are rising every single day. Besides raw statistics speaking loudly, as the Trump administration approaches its first anniversary, Americans feel that prices are increasing daily in every small and large sector.
These are how costs have risen compared to one year ago:
Food: 85%; Bills and services: 78%; Healthcare: 67%; Housing: 66%; and Gasoline: 54%.
The U.S. Treasury Secretary recently stated that prices will go down. So what do the American people think?
CNN, interviewing the public, answers on their behalf: “People think he’s talking nonsense, that’s exactly what they think.” Rising tariffs are already driving prices up.
84% of Democrats, 74% of Independents; and even a majority of Republicans believe that tariffs are increasing prices. Therefore, in this survey, when you manage to get the majority of both Republicans and Democrats to agree on one issue, it means the pain has truly reached the American people. End of message.
