Source: CNN
In January, when Trump announced tariffs on imported washing machines, CEO Marc Bitzer said, "This is, without any doubt, a positive catalyst for Whirlpool."
But the Trump administration didn't stop there. It imposed tariffs on some imported metals, sending raw material prices on steel and aluminum higher. That raised costs for Whirlpool and squeezed profit margins.
The company responded by raising prices on washing machines in the United States, causing some demand to fall.
Whirlpool's (WHR) stock tanked 10% premarket Tuesday after it missed Wall Street's expectations and it cut its full-year outlook in part due to higher costs.

Unemployment is low because Obama got us out of the recession and boosted the economy with his policies.
Trump's disastrous ideas are expected to fuck things up soon (tariffs, deregulation, etc.)
