Prices are up. You’re paying more for school supplies, clothes, and food.
Why? Trump’s 2025 tariffs.
What’s more expensive?
• Backpacks – up 15%
• Shoes – up $10–$20
• T-shirts, jeans, hoodies – up 20–30%
• Lunch snacks – fruit, canned goods, packaged food: all rising
• Laptops & tablets – up $50–$100
Who’s paying for it? You are.
Trump added new tariffs — taxes on imported goods. Stores like Walmart and Dollar Tree pass that cost straight to you.
Why aren’t other countries making deals?
Because they don’t pay these tariffs — you do. They still sell their products. We just pay more for them.
And Congress?
Congressman Michael Baumgartner gave up his power over tariffs — and let Trump raise your prices with no oversight.
The result?
Back-to-school now costs a working family $250–$400 more than last year.
Over a year, tariffs could cost you $1,500–$3,800 — mostly on food, clothes, and essentials.
Bottom line:
Trump’s tariffs are a tax on working people.
They don’t hurt China. They hurt you.
And Baumgartner let it happen.
