I'm not sure how much more inflation people can handle, as most are already at their breaking point.
"Businesses absorbed 80% of Trump’s tariff costs in 2025. That’s about to change."

Tariffs could really sting in 2026. Unless Trump chickens out again | CNN Business
It’s cold comfort for Americans gloomy about the state of the US economy, but President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs didn’t dramatically raise the cost of living in 2025. That could change in 2026.

This is how it's done. If incumbent Democrats won't do the job, their primary challengers can and will use this to make sure someone else does
The Republican Congress has chosen to give away its authority and power and now we are being told Trump plans to occupy Venezuela. We don't cry for Maduro. We demand the following of our laws and Constitution. He is already threatening Mexico and Cuba will be next. Ann Wagner is silent.
