Zoom out: The Tax Foundation previously found that both Trump's and

Lucky for my household, we buy almost everything second-hand, save groceries and toiletries.  Tariffs won't hit us hard, but it may be rough for many.  Best of luck to him, but Trump will have to learn the hard way that his tariffs won't bring back US industry, at least not like he hopes...  He's just hurting the consumers.
