During a Thursday segment, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough explained why Donald Trump's tariff plan would make things much more expensive for Americans.
Voters don't hear about Donald Trump's policy ideas very often. Instead, they mostly hear the former President complain about anything and everything and insult his political rivals. When Trump does have to explain potential plans, the ideas are usually terrible.
Take his tariff idea for example. The 45th President has argued that the plan wouldn't raise prices for Americans. Joe Scarborough had a different take today, telling viewers:
"I do want to talk about taxes. Let's be very clear here: So Donald Trump and Kamala Harris both want to raise taxes, Kamala Harris is talking about actually raising taxes on corporations and the wealthiest of Americans. She's talking about, though, giving a big tax cut, big tax credit to small business owners that will benefit entrepreneurs. Donald Trump, as the Wall Street Journal editorial page said months ago, Donald Trump has proposed the biggest tax increases in this election through the form of tariffs."
The former congressman continued by asking, "Who do tariffs hurt? They hurt consumers, they hurt middle-class America – they don't hurt the rich, they hurt consumers. They hurt middle-class Americans who can't afford the Trump tariff tax that they're going to get hit with."
