It's no secret, Donald Trump has not done a single thing to lower prices for the American people. In my op-ed for FOX NEWS, I explained the impact Donald Trump's inflationary policies will have on our economy. Despite claiming repeatedly last year that he’d address inflation “on day one,” inflation is rising on Trump’s watch. Trump’s tariffs on all imports from Mexico and Canada will make groceries and housing more expensive. His mass deportation efforts will also wipe out huge chunks of the workforce in sensitive industries. I've always found that one of the best ways to take a stand against Donald Trump is to reach people where they are and speak frankly to them. With this op-ed, my goal is to inform Americans who wouldn't typically engage with these types of conversations. Read my op-ed below, then consider chipping in $5, or anything you can, to support me as I work to lower prices and stand up to the Trump agenda >> Thank you, SEN CHRIS COONS: Trump's inflationary policies making America expensive again Tariffs will be Trump’s most inflationary policy, but many of his other hallmark policies aren’t much better By Sen. Chris Coons "Over the coming months, Trump’s policies will continue to push prices higher, none more than his aggressive tariff proposals. He has already imposed an additional 10% tariff on everything we import from China – one of our three largest trading partners. In less than two weeks, he has promised to implement additional 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada – our other two largest trading partners – followed soon after by 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, automobiles, pharmaceuticals and microchips. Tariffs are simply a tax that gets passed down to consumers. If a retailer pays an additional 10% or 25% to import a refrigerator or a car, the company is simply going to increase the sticker price at the store. As more of Trump’s tariffs go into effect, costs will rise on everything from the Canadian lumber we use to build our houses to Mexican tomatoes and lemons we buy at the supermarket."
