Trump and the Republicans are going to make inflation worse.

The immediate effect of any tariffs is a raise in prices. The immediate effect of the mass deportations is a shortage of labor in the types of jobs that most US citizens don't want to do which would result in a raise in prices. How much money would it take for any of us to work in a meat packing plant. The Republicans think that any positive results from these policies will be immediate, but even if there is any, it will be delayed because the economy has to adjust. If they put the economy into a recession, it will take even longer. There are things that they could do to help people during the adjustment time, but they aren't smart enough for that. Ironically this is the main reason that Trump was elected.
