It doesn’t matter. I just find it hilarious that you make sweeping assumptions about the people who post here when you have allegedly only been on this site less than a year. The certainty of your assumptions strongly suggest you’re an alter.

Trump wasnt running around on the campaign trail promising 50% tariffs.
I also didn’t think he would illegally impose tariffs but here we are.

Liberals love taxes like Trump does.

I am kind of enjoying the bitching, but then I don't feel obligated to buy foreign shite so there is that.

I don’t remember him saying he would impose a 50% tariff on imports from India. And I also didn’t think he would be able to do whatever he wanted to do without Congress.

As for Congress, he already demonstrated in his first term that he'd use both existing trade statutes and emergency authority to impose tariffs without prior congressional approval. That wasn’t hypothetical. It happened. If you even remotely followed politics for the eight years prior to your THIRD vote you were aware of that.
So your real issue isn’t that he never signaled high tariffs or lacked authority. It’s that you assumed the impact would be abstract or aimed at someone else.
Too bad. Tariffs aren’t political theater. They’re taxes on imports. And taxes eventually land on someone. Sounds like they landed on you.
Elections have consequences.

The other part is that the way it has all gone down over the last year has been frustrating and messy. No consistency, constantly having to pivot and change business strategy, disrupting business at the drop of a hat. If there is a reciprocal tariff on a country to level out the playing field, ok. And it stays consistent. Ok. But that hasn’t been the case. Changing tariff amounts constantly, sweeping blanket tariffs…..so confusing, bad in the short term for American businesses, putting some businesses under……chaos.
It has real impacts on millions of American businesses. Just wish we can get some clarity and move forward. Trying to run a business when you don’t know your costs and they can change at any point in time is not ideal.

I’m not making sweeping assumptions.
Lsugolf claims he’s a business owner. He voted for Trump 3 times. And he’s surprised and mad Trump is fulfilling campaign promises. That makes him either a liar or a fool. That’s not an assumption
You butt your nose into the middle of our conversation and act like a horses arse. So I call you a horses arse. That’s not an assumption.
The number of posts you two have made doesn’t change either of those things.

THIS
The constant change makes it impossible to hit a financial plan since the cost swings are never in forecast. Also, many companies have to finance a portion of input costs, so the interest eventually catches up to you if cash flow isn’t just right.
I’ll ask my commodity guys how they are pivoting and they’re like “Do I really pivot based on a tweet?”
Everything we manufacture is in a US plant, but intl components are unavoidable

And no, I never thought trump would illegally impose tariffs on American businesses. Did he campaign on that? The way he has gone about all of this has been way different than most thought.
I love India……25% tariff…..nah, 50% tariff……nah, 25%……oh wait, that was illegal…….15% blanket tariff……let’s see what happens this week!
Just as he laid it out on the campaign trail

Poor you.
Good thing you’ll be fine.
Good thing you won’t have to vote for him a 4th time.
Meantime you can hop from one foot to the other while running “your business”. Thats so much harder to run than the rest of us who run businesses with myriad daily changes and adjustments.
Maybe. Just maybe. Anybody who runs a business in such a flat footed and reactionary way shouldn’t run a business.

I would
the rest of us business owners will continue to deal with price charges, regulatory changes, tariffs, interest rate changes, tax law changes and all the other daily items necessary to actually be responsible for running a business.
We won't just stand back and let the world telegraph to us what they intend to do and then pretend we got run over or that reacting is somehow "magic".
I engaged my attorney and spent $4000 in January 2025 to implement language into our quotes, invoices, contracts etc etc that dealt with pricing something at X price at the moment it was quoted (to me or from me) while stipulating that pricing swings outside our control (like whip sawing tariff amounts) would be dealt with and passed along or stopped (first 10% we wil absorb, any additinal changes related ot tariffs will be passed along to our customer or not allowed by our vendor), and then priced my products to take into account the 10% I absorbed (where I needed to). where it doesn't apply I make 10% more than I would have. Where it does I'm good. Where it exceeds that a vendor can decide to supply my order, delay to see it tariff changes, or violate the contract they signed beforehand.
this wasn't magic................ it wasn't unique or new thinking........ it was simply running a well run business.
Those that don't do this whine from the sidelines while getting run over (with or without beginning their whine with the justification of "I'm a 3 time Trump voter").
So which is it? are you a liar or a fool? I'm hoping for those who depend on your business the answer is a liar.
