Maybe it will only be minor to those who are billionaires, but to everyday Americans, to the people who go to work every day to provide for their families--the families like the family I grew up in, a blue- collar family, a father who is a car salesman and a mother who is a receptionist--well, they can't afford any disruptions, and they cannot afford any further pain. They deserve instead to know the truth about the Trump tariffs on the front end. They deserve to know exactly how the Trump tariffs will affect their day-to-day lives. They deserve to understand how these moves will change the price of groceries. They deserve to be told if the Trump tariffs will make energy costs more expensive or if their dream of owning a home or a car will be made more impossible. What they don't deserve is to be subjected to this indiscriminate and chaotic approach to this economy that is already not working for everyone.…”
