Dear John,
Donald Trump is at it again—playing reckless games with the economy and sticking hardworking Americans with the bill. His latest tariffs on aluminum and steel have set off a trade war that’s already punishing businesses, slashing jobs, and making everyday goods more expensive.
Trump promised his tariffs would boost American jobs, but here’s the reality:
-
Major trade partners are hitting back—Canada and the European Union are imposing stiff retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports, including beef, bourbon, motorcycles, computers, and more. American companies are already bracing for billions in losses.
-
Prices are skyrocketing—With higher tariffs, businesses will either take massive financial hits or pass those costs onto consumers. That means YOU will be paying more for everyday products—from food to tools to electronics.
-
Jobs are at risk—Steel and aluminum might see short-term gains, but industries that rely on those materials—manufacturing, auto production, and small businesses—are already feeling the strain. European officials are deliberately targeting products made in states like Kansas, Nebraska, and Georgia—hurting Republican-held states that Trump claims to support.
-
History is repeating itself—Trump pulled this same stunt during his first term, and the results were disastrous. Now, he’s doubling down on a failed policy that nearly tanked key American industries.
Even the American Chamber of Commerce is sounding the alarm, warning that these tariffs will "only harm jobs, prosperity, and security on both sides of the Atlantic."
The reality is simple: Trump’s economic policies don’t work. They never have. They never will. And if he gets another four years, his reckless trade wars will crush American workers while foreign competitors thrive.
We can’t let him get away with it. If we don’t stop Trump, American jobs and businesses will suffer the consequences. Join us in this fight—chip in now to help defeat Trump and his destructive policies before it’s too late.
In Solidarity,
The No Dem Left Behind Team
