Deep dives
Economic Impact on Trump Voters
Rural working-class voters, a significant segment of Trump's base, are facing negative repercussions from his economic policies. While many were promised revitalization of manufacturing and coal sectors, Trump's trade wars are currently harming farmers and small businesses due to increased tariffs on foreign goods. These tariffs, which may seem beneficial on the surface, are leading to higher costs for equipment and consumer goods, thus directly impacting the livelihoods of those who supported him. Consequently, the very individuals who celebrated his tough stance on trade may find themselves in financial distress as retaliatory tariffs from other countries exacerbate their economic struggles.
