New polling shows that 66% of Americans think Donald Trump is failing to live up to his campaign promises to lower prices and that his focus on bringing down costs is \u201cnot enough.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBS News Poll<\/a>: \u201cBut one key issue looms: most Americans say the administration isn’t focused enough on lowering prices. …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s focus on lowering prices is\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c66% Not Enough\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s response to two out of three Americans looking for action on prices? Yet <\/strong>another<\/em><\/strong> tax to hit working families with higher costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Mason<\/a>: \u201c.\u2066@realDonaldTrump\u2069 tells reporters on AF1 he will announce 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC<\/a>: \u201cTrump has often framed tariffs as fees other countries pay. However, tariffs are paid by importers, the U.S. companies that import goods from abroad. The companies then often pass along the higher costs to consumers by hiking prices.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMINDER: Trump\u2019s White House already promised tariffs that would cost Americans an extra $1,000 a year and raise costs drastically on energy, cars, and groceries. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ernie Tedeschi, The Budget Lab<\/a>: \u201cA broad 25% tariff on all goods imports from Canada and Mexico would, before substitution & other 2nd stage effects, put upward pressure on the level of consumer prices of +0.6%. That\u2019s the equivalent of an average loss in after-tax income of about $980 per household in 2023<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall Street Journal<\/a>: \u201cA 25% Trump tariff <\/strong>on Canadian oil and gas could lead to lower production, in turn pushing up U.S. energy prices,<\/strong> warned an industry group. Canada, the world\u2019s fourth-largest oil producer, sends almost all of its exports to the U.S. The prospect of tariffs has alarmed Canadian oil companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigator<\/a>: \u201cMore than three in five say new tariffs would increase the costs of things that they buy. A greater share also say new tariffs will hurt U.S. consumers more than foreign countries.\u201d  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Trump\u2019s failed economic record includes offshoring jobs and shuttering factories \u2013 while his billionaire pick for Commerce Secretary screwed over American workers by helping companies ship manufacturing jobs to Mexico. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cOn the campaign trail with Donald Trump, Howard Lutnick railed against policies that encouraged factories and jobs to move to Mexico. But at the same time, the president\u2019s eventual nominee for commerce secretary runs a commercial real estate firm that has been pitching the virtues of Mexican manufacturing to American companies.<\/strong> \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is executive chairman of Newmark Group<\/strong>, a publicly traded commercial real estate firm, which has touted multiple industrial sites for sale and rent in Mexico, <\/strong>sometimes pitching them as a way for companies to avoid Chinese tariffs and tap into cheap labor.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg<\/a>: \u201cThe Offshoring of U.S. Jobs Increased on Trump\u2019s Watch\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cTrump promised \u2018America First\u2019 would keep jobs here. But the tax plan might push them overseas.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>: \u201cWhen Trump left office, there were over 170,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than when he started.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cTrump told GM workers he could save their plant, but it\u2019s gone for good\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
