Well, well, well… It looks like a few weeks ago, when I warned you about Trump's boneheaded tariffs blowing up in everyone's face, some people thought I was exaggerating.
Funny how reality has a way of confirming the obvious.
Right now, Americans are reacting to Trump’s new tariffs on Chinese imports with exactly what you’d expect — panic, frustration, and a whole lot of scrambling. Apps like Temu and SHEIN? The cheap shopping lifelines for millions of working-class Americans? They're under siege.

According to recent surveys, more than half of American consumers are bracing for higher prices — and almost a third say they’re already cutting back or planning to ditch Chinese sellers altogether. TikTok, Reddit, you name it — the internet is flooded with people showing off their "panic buys" before May 2nd, trying to sneak under the wire before Trump’s tariffs hammer down.

Folks, they’re not buying luxury handbags. They're stocking up on bubble wands, socks, and school supplies. The essentials. The little things that made life a little more affordable when wages didn’t keep up with inflation.
And the panic is justified — because it’s not just about some temporary price bump. It’s structural. Temu’s already hiking prices, slashing their U.S. ad spending, watching their App Store ranking fall off a cliff. They’re even rebuilding their entire supply chain to try and survive this mess.
Meanwhile, big companies like Amazon smell blood in the water, rolling out copycat services to swoop up customers. And dying brands like Forever 21? Suddenly blaming Temu and SHEIN for their years of corporate mismanagement. Gotta love American capitalism, right?
And here's the kicker: some MAGA idiots online are celebrating, thinking they scored some big patriotic win. But the truth is, the people feeling the heat aren’t Beijing bureaucrats — it’s you. It’s regular Americans. It's the working class Trump claims to fight for, now getting crushed by the very policies he’s bragging about.
Delivery delays. Higher prices. Misinformation running wild online. Inflation creeping up. The rich will survive just fine — but for millions of everyday families? This is a gut punch.
Trump didn’t "fix" the economy.
He’s taxing the poor to protect the rich — again.
And if this is just the beginning of the chaos, just imagine what’s coming next.
