Out of sync

The tariff war launched by Trump 2.0 seems increasingly disconnected from the priorities of the average American voter. According to the survey highlighted by BCA Research below, inflation ranks as the number one concern, while globalization and trade come in at number sixteen—well behind issues like abortion and gun control.

We remain firmly convinced that tariffs will only fuel inflation, hitting the U.S. middle class the hardest and inflicting lasting economic damage. That outcome hardly aligns with the core principles of the MAGA doctrine.
