Trump Tariffs Impact Small Business Survival

Title: The Trump Tariffs: A Small Business’s Struggle

In 2018, President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, promising to protect American industries. But for small business owner Jake Reynolds, the policy brought unexpected challenges.

Jake ran Reynolds Custom Furniture, a family workshop in Ohio that relied on affordable imported steel. When the tariffs hit, his costs soared by 25%. At first, he tried absorbing the extra expenses, but soon, he had no choice—he raised prices.

Customers weren’t happy. Orders slowed. By 2019, Jake had to lay off two of his five employees. 'I support American jobs,' he told the local newspaper, 'but these tariffs are killing mine.'

Meanwhile, big steel producers celebrated. One executive boasted record profits. But economists warned: higher material costs hurt more businesses than they helped.

In 2020, Jake switched to cheaper, lower-quality domestic steel. His craftsmanship suffered, and his reputation took a hit. 'We’re surviving,' he sighed, 'but barely.'

The tariffs remained controversial—were they protecting America or punishing it? For Jake, the answer was clear.

The End.
