President Donald Trump and his allies have begun suggesting that some economic pain could be ahead for Americans, as the administration carries out plans to slap tariffs on billions of dollars of goods coming into the U.S. and fire thousands of federal workers across the country.
Trump warned Americans in his speech to Congress this week to expect a “little disturbance” from his plan to impose sweeping tariffs on billions of dollars in goods. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said there will be a “detox period” as the economy shifts away from government spending. And Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that prices on some items would be going up as a result of tariffs — though he said overall inflation would not increase.
While Trump and top administration officials have framed any economic pain from their policies as short-term hits that are necessary to improve the economy in the long run, their comments go against the optimistic, fast-fix rhetoric Trump deployed on the campaign trail. Trump said in August that on his first day in office he would “end inflation and make America affordable again,” and he denied that tariffs would raise prices for consumers.
The more tempered comments from Trump and his Cabinet come amid mixed signs for the economy. The U.S. added fewer jobs than economists had expected in February, as cuts by the federal government offset some of the hiring gains by private employers. The unemployment rate climbed slightly to 4.1% from 4.0% the month before. Stocks across the major indexes were on track to end the week lower.
Trump told Americans during his joint address to Congress on Tuesday that “there’ll be a little disturbance. But we’re OK with that. It won’t be much.” Directly addressing the impact farmers could feel from retaliatory tariffs already being placed on U.S. agricultural products, as they were during his first term, Trump said “they will probably have to bear with me again.”
In response to a question on Trump’s economic warnings, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Trump was “being frank and honest.”
“The American people elected this president to have monumental reform and change,” and doing so will “require a little bit of disruption,” Leavitt said. She added that the president remained committed to “ending the inflation nightmare caused by the Biden administration.”…
…
Voters have indicated they would like to see Trump doing more to lower prices, with 80% of respondents in a CBS poll saying inflation should be a top priority — while just 29% said they believed Trump was prioritizing inflation “a lot.” ….
MAGA won’t care.
They will blame it all on Biden.
True THAT…..
But it won’t work forever….
It’s ALREADY getting thin….

“Look, what I have to do is build a strong country. You can’t really watch the stock market. If you look at China, they have a 100-year perspective.”

Trump’s Economic Shock Therapy
“President Trump believes it’s worth risking pain to achieve his medium-term goal of rewiring the U.S. economy. He is attempting a form of economic shock therapy, while accepting there could be collateral damage,” Axios reports.
“That willingness to shrug off risks of inflation or recession is now rattling financial markets and confidence — and has itself emerged as the biggest near-term economic risk.”
“The administration has embraced that the economic disruption it envisions could be painful.”
“That adds to the risk that if the economy starts to falter — and it hasn’t so far, at least according to the high-level data — no cavalry will be coming from Washington to contain the damage.”
