A vacation abroad or a new car, maybe remodel your house.

The average American consumer has been affected by Trump's tariffs  to the tune of $600 per year so far, it's being reported  and that amount is increasing day by day.

I read that Trump is forced to cancel his tour of the Midwest agriculture for safety reasons, his agriculture secretary was spit on or something and it scared him, these were areas that voted for him...

Actually it was Trump admin spokespeople that were forced to cancel their midwest tour of farms because of hostile reactions towards Sonny Perdue, who made farmer jokes that would have went over well in his racist base in Georgia as there are many black farmers there but not in the rural midwest where it is alomost 100% white and all voted for Trump...
