Donald Trump cannot distinguish between a small business and a large one or understand tariffs. Yet they are asking Kamala Harris to say more.
Trump’s small business and tariff ineptitude
Podcasts (Video — Audio)
Summary:
The video covers former President Donald Trump’s failure to articulate coherent economic policies for small businesses and tariffs during an interview. When asked about support for small businesses, Trump deflected with examples of large corporations like Apple, showing a clear misunderstanding of small business needs. He also proposed tariffs that, according to experts, could harm the U.S. economy, ignoring the potential for retaliatory measures from other nations. Critics highlight that Trump’s policies would raise costs for American consumers, damage export opportunities, and benefit the wealthy through a regressive tax system.
- Trump struggles to explain policies for small businesses, referencing only large corporations.
- Tariffs, as proposed by Trump, are inaccurately described and would function as a tax on American consumers.
- His approach could lead to trade wars, causing retaliatory tariffs from other countries and damaging U.S. industries.
- Small businesses and American farmers would suffer due to lost international market access.
- Trump’s policies ultimately benefit large corporations and the wealthy while hurting small businesses and working-class Americans.
The video underscores Trump’s incompetence in addressing small business needs and his reckless tariff proposals that favor corporate giants over everyday Americans. His economic policies would increase costs for working people while shielding billionaires and threaten vital U.S. industries like agriculture. In contrast, progressive policies empower small businesses, protect jobs, and foster equitable economic growth for all.
