Tariff fallout could become a rallying cry for Democrats as they build a case against Trump ahead of midterm elections in hopes of reclaiming some power.

Summary

Trump dismissed concerns over his new tariffs, calling them a “little disturbance,” despite warnings from retailers and even some Republicans about rising prices.

With inflation and cost-of-living pressures still top concerns, Trump blames his predecessor, but Democrats argue his policies will worsen the situation.

Critics warn tariffs on allies could hurt manufacturing and farming, giving Democrats a rallying point ahead of midterms.

If prices keep rising, Trump’s economic stance may become a political liability, despite his strong voter support, potentially benefiting Democrats seeking to regain power.
