If you thought the drama surrounding Donald Trump and his economic policies couldn’t get any juicier, think again.

Enter Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, whose recent take-down of Trump’s disastrous economic policies left both the former president and his billionaire buddy Elon Musk scrambling to defend their flawed business models.

In a scathing breakdown, Crockett exposed how Trump’s so-called “easy-to-win” trade wars were nothing more than a disaster for American consumers, and how his reckless tariff policies are about to make everything from beer to cars way more expensive.

What to read to understand Elon Musk

Remember when Trump confidently declared that his trade wars would be “easy to win”? Well, Jasmine Crockett certainly hasn’t forgotten.

In a fiery speech, Crockett ripped into Trump’s economic plans, tearing apart the illusion that he was some sort of business genius.

Instead, Crockett painted a picture of a leader who, despite his multiple bankruptcies, somehow managed to convince large swaths of the American public that he was the expert they needed to navigate the economy.

With her sharp insights, Crockett made it crystal clear that Trump’s “genius” was nothing more than smoke and mirrors, and it was now painfully evident that his policies were doing more harm than good.

The most recent debacle? Trump’s tariffs.

Trump’s latest economic proposal is a 10% tariff on practically everything America imports.

That includes everything from clothes to electronics, and even food and cars.

At first glance, this might sound like a tough, “America-first” move—after all, who doesn’t want to stick it to foreign nations that play hardball with the U.S.? But as Crockett pointed out, these tariffs have one major downside: they hurt American consumers.

The most immediate impact? Higher prices on virtually every product that American shoppers rely on.

From the cars you drive to the clothes you wear, and even the beer you drink, Trump’s tariffs will drive prices up across the board.

And let’s not forget the possibility of even higher “reciprocal tariffs” on countries like China and those in the European Union if they don’t “play nice.

” Essentially, if Trump doesn’t get his way, he’s threatening to make your shopping trip even more expensive by jacking up tariffs even further.

But the big question remains: who is really paying for these trade wars? It’s not the businesses that Trump is trying to “punish.

” It’s the average American consumer who’ll be forced to foot the bill at the checkout line.

And as Crockett explained, the people who are most impacted by these price hikes are not the wealthy elites but working-class families already struggling to make ends meet.

As if Trump’s tariffs weren’t enough of a mess, Crockett also took aim at what she called Trump’s “meme factory” approach to governing.

Trump’s entire brand of leadership has been about creating chaos, stirring up controversy, and—most importantly—keeping himself in the headlines.

But the consequences of this “style” of governance are far more serious than just viral moments on social media.

Crockett’s breakdown of Trump’s leadership style showed how his reckless approach to policy-making has real consequences for everyday people.

It’s not just about cheap headlines and TV soundbites.

When you slap tariffs on everyday goods, you’re not just making a bold statement; you’re hitting the wallets of working Americans who are already struggling under rising inflation.

And to make matters worse, Crockett didn’t pull any punches when she exposed Elon Musk’s involvement in this mess.

Musk, who has spent years cozily aligning himself with Trump’s policies, is now facing increasing scrutiny as it becomes clear that his business ventures—like Tesla and SpaceX—stand to benefit from Trump’s trade policies at the expense of regular Americans.

With Musk’s significant influence over American technology and industry, Crockett’s criticism hit a nerve.

The combination of Trump’s failed business policies and Musk’s cozy relationship with him couldn’t have come at a worse time for either of them.

It’s not just a talking point anymore—Trump’s tariff plan is about to hit your pocketbook hard.

Imagine going to the store and seeing the price of everything from your car to your favorite snack shoot up.

That’s exactly what Crockett warned would happen under Trump’s new economic plan.

The theory behind the tariffs is to make it more expensive for foreign countries to sell goods to the U.S., thereby encouraging American companies to produce more domestically.

But Crockett highlighted the fatal flaw in this logic: the cost doesn’t just fall on foreign companies—it’s American consumers who will pay more, and businesses that rely on imports will be forced to increase their prices to stay afloat.

The end result? Higher living costs, fewer savings, and less disposable income for families who are already under financial strain.
