OK. PAY ATTENTION, PLEASE. TARIFFS ARE PAID BY AMERICANS (REPEAT)


MoneyA new study found that Americans paid nearly all the costs of President Trump’s tariffs, with 96% of the burden falling on US buyers, not foreign exporters as claimed.


Researchers revealed the $200 billion in added customs revenue last year came almost entirely from American importers, manufacturers, and ultimately, everyday consumers, leading to higher prices and less product availability.

With Trump threatening more tariffs and the Supreme Court reviewing their legality, the impact on Americans remains front and center.

The question is, who wasn't bright enough to know that?

I’ll take “things that are obvious for 500 please”

The entire free world witnessed the mental decline of Dementia Don at Davos. Attempting to extort 1 billion dollars to join his bogus initiative. TACO Trump caved on his Greenland land grab. He plainly stated that sometimes we need a dictator. Only his MAGA morons will continue to support and make excuses for him.
Communism is alive and well in the White House.

Americans are willing to pay more, just so that Trump gets rid of minorities. The country belongs to white people only. No more poor people from India, Mexico, Thailand, Pakistan, etc

The New York mayor is a communist. He is part of the previous democratic party. So quit trying to push that negative agenda on the Republican party. Whose creating chaos on our city streets dressed up as animals if it's not the great communist party headed by the communist leader Soros.

You communist keep trying to paint a sad picture of our economy. As for our local area few cars and homes are being repossessed. Instead the prices of cars and homes continue to rise and people keep buying. That doesn’t sound like a weak economy. But like always the communist party continues with their lies.

He isn't lying, no sir.

Pete: I've always wondered, what's the devil look like?
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, Pete, but the great Satan hisself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork.
Tommy Johnson: Oh, no. No, sir. He's white, as white as you folks, with empty eyes and a big hollow voice. He likes to travel around with a mean old hound. That's right.

6:37. Name your sources regarding this astonishing economic data. You sound like your BS pedo-felon leader.
“The economy is doing numbers never seen before”. Affordability is a nightmare. The end of the Ukrainian war never came. How is that wall coming along? Did Mexico pay for it yet? You’re a gullible buffoon.
