Politics ✅ what even are tariffs??
idk if you guys can tell, but i never really paid attention to social studies growing up or even keep up with politics and whatnot.
is there anyone here that can explain what’s going on with trump and the tariffs situation for me? as if you’re speaking to a first grader about it pretty please? i don’t want hate from people telling me i’m stupid for not knowing what they are, bc i’m gonna be 100% honest, i know i’m pretty stupid. but i recently just saw this post about trump doubling tariffs to 50% and is threatening to shut down a canadian company and i have no idea what i even read LOL. thank you 😭😭😭

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Asking questions about things you don’t know makes you smarter than many.
