I'm not sure if you're being rhetorical, but people in the United States generally do not understand this. Even among those who are pro-Democrat, the differences in tax and tariff policy are usually not the top three issues.

Narrator: people did not understand this

It's pretty hard to run a campaign on "change" when you're the incumbent and nobody voted for you.

I think they just assume things can’t get worse so f** it. Most people only vaguely know policies and are voting based on feelings.

Many people in the US believe that the target country is the one who pays the tariffs, and don't understand that they pay for them, at the cash register.

Plenty of people have good reasons to support tariffs. Free trade destroyed a lot of industries and adjanced communities and the free trade fans didn't give a damn about them.

Yes, but voters are forced to choose between the fuckers who screwed them yesterday and the fuckers who will screw them tomorrow.

He gave out money during covid that reasonates.

We'll have to wait and see re: tariffs, but the democrats are no different on tax breaks for the rich.

Go look at a chart of income inequality. It hasn’t improved under any administration. So why do they still feel Trump is the answer? Inflation.

"America first" includes economic policies that drive up commerce, even at the cost of our allies. German news is full of VW and other auto executives wanting to leave for production in the US. Trump's tariffs mean companies will just want to produce in the US and export outside it. And it's working.

Do people not understand this?
