Don’t get me wrong—I’ve rarely found myself nodding along with anything Mike Pence has said over the years. But credit where credit’s due: he finally got something right.
The Trump Tariff Tax is the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history. These Tariffs are nearly 10x the size of those imposed during the Trump-Pence Administration and will cost American families over $3,500 per year.

Let that sink in. While Trump rails against taxes and claims to be the champion of the working class, his tariffs functioned as a massive, stealth tax on American consumers. They hit everyday people at the checkout line while pretending to punish foreign governments.
And now? Pence is suddenly seeing the light. Maybe having a mob chant for your hanging during an insurrection sharpens your sense of clarity. Funny how that works.
Whether it’s too little too late is up for debate. But one thing’s certain: when even Mike Pence is calling out Trump’s economic disaster in plain terms, the cracks in the MAGA facade are starting to show.
