Holy shit, I am shocked. Never could have guessed that.

I mean anyone with common sense knew this and knew that his tariffs were an indirect threat to tank the economy.
It’s just a shame that half the country thought he can fix it.

I find it incredulous that there is anyone that doesn’t understand how tariffs work at this point. Once again, the exporters don’t pay anything when they ship. The goods arrive at the dock or a truck and offload whereby the importer pays the tariff and then it’s worked into the cost of the goods and ultimately, all us poor bastards pay the increased costs.
Now this is Trump’s flawed logic comes in to play. He believes the increased costs you pay will entice manufactures or companies run by billionaires to build industries based on competitiveness to get costs lower and thereby raise employment in the US. But, here is where it’s flawed since most billionaires won’t hire people at all in today’s world. They will simply in time build dark plants that use robotics and keep that extra money to once again gain more wealth leaving the average person to still pay more for everything.

Exactly what we knew would happen. It wasn’t ever about bringing jobs back to the US. It was about stock market manipulation to make President Shitiot and his buddies richer than ever.

Turns out tariffs worked exactly like everyone without a political agenda and 2 active brain cells said it would.

Any one who knows how the system works should not be surprised by this. Unfortunately we have some who don’t and blame the democrats for it.

All while we foreigners simply reduced our consumption of American made goods and travelled to the US less. Because honestly 1/3rd of you voted for this, 1/3rd of you didn’t bother voting against this, and the vast majority of you are doing fuck all to oppose this.

It’s a tax on imports. It’s paid by local goods getting more expensive. Not very complicated

Some larger companies have been absorbing at least a portion of the tariffs, thinking they would be short term. If they fully pass on the costs the affordability crisis will get worse

Of course that how tariffs work, everyone intelligent knows that.

There are billions in taxpayer dollars set side to fund corporations to pay for these tariffs. This is US taxpayers directly funding trumps political experiment.

It’s crazy how my business owning, tariff paying, trump supporting MAGA father that can’t understand why he’s seriously hurting right now still thinks China is and refuses to raise his prices because of it
Beginning-Pace-1426 on
Remember the MAGA posts where people couldn’t understand why they were paying more for their imported goods?
Like they thought that tariffs meant that everybody so desperately wanted to do business with them that they were willing to pay simply for the opportunity. This cult thinks they are the most important people in the whole goddamn world, and that literally every goddamn nation in the world owes *them* something.

Not like this will get through to his dumb fuck supporters who are too busy trying to rationalize why the higher prices they’re still paying are somehow Biden’s fault
You know, despite his campaign promise to bring prices down “on day one”

I watched the store brand coffee go from $8 to over $12 after the tariffs, so I know all about it.
Are we growing coffee in America now? America is renowned for having tons of equatorial land suitable for growing coffee after all.
