Democrats are hesitant towards tax hikes proposed to fund social programs, but should recognize the core issue: Everything is too expensive, a problem largely attributed to Trump. Trump’s tariffs are contributing to rising costs, impacting items like coffee and prompting price increases from major companies. Businesses are now running out of options to absorb these increased costs, suggesting a more significant impact on prices in the near future. Therefore, voters expecting relief from post-pandemic inflation under Trump are likely to be disappointed as next year could see even higher inflation.

While a few GOP members criticized this authoritarian action, the incident underscores a broader pattern of prioritizing the president’s feelings over objective truth, which has been a hallmark of this administration.
