John Gutierrez and Rob Blackwell represent U.S. consumers reacting swiftly to President Trump's new tariffs, particularly a significant tax on Taiwanese imports. Gutierrez purchased a $2,400 laptop to avoid future price hikes caused by the tariffs, while Blackwell's family opted to lease a new electric vehicle to mitigate the financial impact of potential price increases on cars manufactured outside the U.S. These actions reflect broader concerns among consumers about upcoming tariffs affecting the prices of essential goods, potentially slowing down the economic landscape.
"I thought I'd bite the bullet, buy it now, and then that way I'll have the latest technology on my laptop and don't have to worry about the tariffs."
"I have been telling my wife that for some time we were going to need to do it, and I was watching to see what the president did with tariffs."
