President Trump's tariffs, while intended to benefit small businesses, disproportionately harm low-income Americans. These tariffs raise prices on everyday goods, impacting low-income households more severely than higher-income ones. Furthermore, the risk of recession stemming from the tariffs would also disproportionately affect low-income families, increasing poverty and unemployment. While Congress and the courts could intervene, the most likely solution hinges on Trump reversing his policy.
