Share this article Before leaving office, President Joe Biden announced that the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution had been ratified. A few days later, Donald Trump, an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon, took Biden’s place as the president of the United States. The contrast could not be more stark.

Tariffs are taxes on imports and American companies say they’re planning to raise prices.
