13. We'll never be compensated for our losses either

It makes me so angry that US manufacturers raised their prices across the board, whether they were subject to the tariffs or not. Because they COULD, and Chump made it possible. Since last year we've been paying 15 or 20% higher prices on just about everything because we've had NO CHOICE.

Chump did this to us, to all Americans, whether we voted for him or not.
