Friend --
Well, Liberation Day came and went — and, predictably, the market tanked, leading to more economic instability, and more uncertainty for hardworking Americans.
What’s truly alarming?
None of this is surprising — because we’ve seen this show before.
Today, we’re talking about… washing machines — yes, really — because they’re a perfect example of what happens when bad economic policy meets political theater.
In 2018, during the first Trump administration, a steep tariff was imposed on foreign-made washing machines. The result?
The price of laundry equipment in the U.S. jumped by 34%, far outpacing inflation. Why?
Because when tariffs reduce competition, American manufacturers often raise prices too — and consumers pay the price.
Now, this administration is claiming that tariffs will bring back American manufacturing. But we’ve run that experiment, too. During the first Trump Administration, when tariffs were introduced (at a smaller level than now), the U.S. lost manufacturing jobs and businesses.
Numbers don’t lie..
Steep, across-the-board tariffs with no strategy behind them, don’t strengthen our economy — they destabilize it. They don’t lower prices — they raise them.
We have an administration willing to gamble with our economy, and with the livelihoods of everyday working Americans.
Let’s make our voices heard.
Join us today for a Day of Action <[link removed]> and demand economic policies rooted in facts — not fiction.
