Trump's approval rating slips as Americans worry about the economy

Going down
 
The warhawks are getting worried. Once budget cuts are made and revenue collected from tariffs, tax cuts ensured, Americans will be happy. If the GOP block Trumps agenda, he will have to do it alone. Some in your government on the GOP want to increase your debt some more, not cut it. They are going to be responsible for the U.S dollar collapsing.

Except those will cause inflation to go higher and as it is, inflation rose from 3-5% last month and this month it will be higher and the month after that higher again and this is what Americans will feel.

"revenue collected from tariffs"

Please don't tell me you foreign countries pay tariffs. You know that it is the American importers that bring in foreign materials that pay the tariff and those costs are passed along to the American consumer. It's the American consumer that will be paying for that additional revenue.

Anyone who chooses to buy/import manufactured goods from outside the U.S will pay the tariff , be it the manufacturer themselves, importer or end user, what an importer does with the product is their business, but their competition manufacturing domestically will have a significant advantage, this is the intention. If you pay for the higher price on the imported good that is your decision just as Japan experienced in the 1980s. There is no law that says you have to pay the higher price.

Using the Pot Ash example.

The US imports 80% Pot Ash used from Canada. That is a major component in fertilizer. That means "American Made" fertilizer will increase in cost, fertilizer used on American Farms, used to grow American Crops.

So it's not just "imported goods" it's also a function of imported raw materials for "American Made" products.

In short "buying American" does not evading tariffs.

Well, in the tariff theory, you might now import 50% from Canada now and increase domestic production to 50% to meet the increased demand.

Nothing is perfect, but the U.S is in a difficult fiscal situation, far worse than many people realize. I think you're at 120% of debt to GDP now. This is NOT going to correct itself, it is going to take a national effort/sacrifice.

It does not matter because the key is that if the buyer needs the product, he will be paying higher prices from either domestically or from the foreign buyer. That is inflationary any way you look at it.

The foreign import and domestic producers may get into a pricing war for marketshare. Basically the domestic producer has an opportunity to flood the market as they can produce at will locally in an "on-demand" environment, they don't need to wait for the product to be shipped, duties/tariff paid etc.

Especially if one is an importer, you just want your product to move asap. If they make 4% instead of 30%, they will take that small margin in order to not be left holding the bag. If domestic production ramps up and drives prices down, the importer is in even greater risk of losing his shirt.

A 25% advantage over a foreign made product is a big deal. It is an equalizer for the currency and wage manipulation.

It is still inflationary. Your presenting a possibility of a company lowering their prices means that if they would REQUIRE a big increase in sales for the same profit they were making before. Few (if any) companies will do that. If they do and do not get the sales, they will go broke. Bad for the economy
 
Trumpsters only believe polls that shine a positive light on their new Jesusâ„¢.

Everything else is fake news from demonic commies.
Obama-Bidenites only believe polls that shine positive light on their messiahs; leading the way to "fundamental change" away from our founding principles.

Everything else in opposition is 'fascist propaganda'.

(Mostly they are worried their gravy train of graft and grift will dry up.)
 
That 4 out of 10 people still approve is a tragedy.
That of the other 6 out of 10, @3 don't care much either way, while the other 3 seek to dismantle the Constitution and replace it with socialists tyranny is an even greater tragedy !
