@jlray.bsky.social explains how voters clearly connect Trump to the tariff policies driving today’s economic uncertainty. Trump pushed these ideas on his own, implemented them without guardrails, and now the chaos is catching up.

Rural communities are getting hit from every direction. Rising input costs driven by tariffs make it harder for farmers to stay afloat. Commodity prices are sinking. And cuts to Medicaid and SNAP are putting families in even more danger.
