Consumer sentiment fell nearly 11% from March to April and 34% from this time last year, according to new data from University of Michigan’s authoritative survey, released Friday.
The drop continued a three-month trend brought about by Trump’s vow to impose tariffs on products imported to the U.S., a promise Trump fulfilled last week in what he called a “Liberation Day” ceremony at the White House.

The Yale Budget Lab estimated the average household will be $4,700 poorer as a result of Trump’s tariff gamble.
Is there any way I can make this prick not affect my non American life the way my American trump voting ex friends told me its none of my business
Nah Pizza cake did a great comic on a guy drilling a whole in the bottom of the boat we are all floating in. We all go down together and only the strong will survive.
But also, don’t you dare call out the inaction of cowardly white American liberals on Lemmy- they’ll demand to know WHAT YOU HAVE DONE to fix their problems and when that doesn’t work they’ll insinuate it’s not your place to have an opinion since you don’t live there.
Meanwhile they whine about how they couldn’t possibly take any action because they MIGHT GET IN TROUBLE! Best they can do is a cute little easily-ignored march on a Saturday if the weather’s nice and they’ve gotten the proper permits.
They’re nearly as bad as MAGA trash.
Your racism is unwelcome
I cannot believe how many people/comments i hear that are scared to go to a peaceful protest. My 70 year old uncle didn’t go because he didn’t have a buddy. I called him hours before. Same with the die hard internet commies. Where’s the fucking revolution. Where are all the bodies resisting the fascist.
