How come the republican supporters are not upset about the new tariff war?

They're retaliatory and have the potential to cause leaders to make adjustments to the current tariffs they already have on our goods. (They tax us, we don't even tax them). Maybe this will cause them to reconsider the taxes they have imposed on us in the first place. it Encourages Americans to support small (American) businesses and their own economy instead of buying overseas. it also encourages manufacturing here which stimulates the economy and creates more jobs

Well coming from it from an international business perspective all of the countries he's putting tariffs on are currently charging us those tariffs. If they're going to charge us a tariff to sell our products there then Trump's merely saying we're going to charge them at tariff to sell their products here. For so many years the US has been overpaying for everything compared to the rest of the world. There's over 150 countries that get the majority of their revenue from tariffs. If we charge these other countries the same tariffs they're charging us you could easily do away with federal income taxes for people making under $100,000 a year. That would include everybody that's on social security that would include everyone that is on disability that would include everybody making less than 100,000 a year. Now if all these countries are willing to come to the negotiating table and get rid of their tariffs that they're charging on American products then I'm pretty sure Trump would get rid of the tariffs charged to them starting April 2nd.

I had to read up on exactly why the tariffs were imposed.

I guess the crack down on illegal immigrants and drugs are supposed to counter act the effects of these tariffs. Could be their reasoning

I don't really know about economics...

Tariffs should bring lower taxes and tax related expenses for all Americans, with those lower taxes more than offsetting and price increases. There is also the reduction in government workforces at all levels. Much of local government serves as managers of federal grants, making sure local governments are applying for and securing federal grants, as well as making sure federal funds are accounted for and comply with federal regulations.

There is a federal tax connected to practically everything we Americans use and do. A tax on your phone, on the gas you put in your car, on rent, on everything.

It wont. Don't believe the left's propaganda.

(1) The tariff tax is collected by the government, which will be paid to the American people in one way or another, thus offsetting any price increases.

(2) Tariffs aren't based on sticker price but on arrival value when it hits US shores. A big dfference between that value and the price when it goes on the shelf. So a 10% tariff on something that we previously paid $100 for won't suddenly cost $110. At most $102 or $103, an if that tariff gets given back to American taxpayers, it may even cost the American taxpayers $98 or $99

Yea, this Tarriffs thing is just economically nuts. It does make some semse on dumping and reciprocal (done gradually ). But arbitrarily just destroys differential advantage.

Plenty of SS officers went home from the camps proud of what they did, and were surprised when people, their neighbours even, claimed the holocaust never happened. Germany was destroyed by WW2, but the proud never blamed Hitler.

The sad truth is that most people, regardless of how they vote, just don't know how tariffs work.

Because they've been told not to be.

Because they think it will hit "them" not "us"

It won't affect them... So they think

The only country that has already imposed tariffs is Canada.
