    Yeah. We don’t know how it will affect China. But some people have calculated how much it will affect US people

    Trump’s taxes on imports (tariffs) from Canada, Mexico, and China will cost people in the United States somewhere around $260 billion a year or around $2,000 a household.

    Here is an article about it:

      Many Americans do not care. Brains have been rotted by their social media and “anti-woke” identity politics so critical thinking is waning. They’ll pay more and find a way to not blame it on Trump.

      America as a positive cultural force in the world is on its dying breaths. It was a good run. The rest of the world should be looking at moving forward while leaving America and the crypto, AI, and social networking dystopia it seems obsessed with creating behind.

      The rest of the world should be emphasizing divestment in the US and, overall, leaving America behind at this critical juncture.
