Tariffs are a tax on consumers—no matter how many times brain-mushed Trump lies about it. And if Panican Don doesn’t back down, we’re about to see dramatic price increases on many items.

Where’s he get this made up crap from? Like REAL people who are buying groceries (yeah I used the old fashioned word for it that Trump knows so well) aren’t seeing prices in stores that are still outrageous? Nothing is cheaper. Nothing.
Didn't we just learn they aren't even collecting the tariffs because the mediocre white men in charge of The Rapist's administration didn't update the relevant systems?
"Automaker Honda said on Wednesday it will shift production of its hybrid Civic model from Japan to the United States in June or July, but stopped short of saying the reason was US tariffs"
Trump says a bunch of dumb stuff, but this post may be the dumbest thing that he repeatedly says given how often economists — at least legitimate ones — have expounded on how tariffs work. At this point I don’t know if Trump is lying or is just plain stuck on stupid. Either way, we are screwed.
For instance, what does he mean by “taking in?” Is he showing that he is deluded in thinking that the US Treasury is growing from funds that we are receiving from foreign governments? Is he acknowledging — finally — that the Treasury is growing from funds that are being extorted from US consumers?
Correctomundo. I have been shouting this from the mountaintop for a long time. Trumpsters who have been resisting the message likely will finally “get it” when they start to experience the price increases that are caused by the tariffs. Will they then join THE RESISTANCE? One can only hope.
In any event, his assertion that he has kept his promise of decreasing inflation by imposing tariffs is ludicrous. Trump’s post is not going to age well. I wonder whether he will repost it after the inflation numbers start to soar.
Good morning, class. Who can tell me, when loaded container ship from overseas pulls into a port in the United States, who walks into the office at the port to write the check for the tariffs and to whom do they make the check payable?...
Look at the stock market it’s tanking cause trump’s bumbling idiotic tariffs,he has no right to do what he’s doing, but our chicken little republican reps, have to backbone, they could put a stop to this crap in a minute, let’s vote there asses out of office and get back to making US, great again,
We should find an outlet that can publish the email updates from our various suppliers and that are informing us of price increases due to the tariffs.
Prediction: If a recession occurs, I strongly believe Trump will face impeachment, and many members of his administration will either end up in jail or entangled in lawsuits. If I were part of the Trump administration, I would advocate for reversing the tariffs before it's too late or get out.
Has he been to the store lately? The cost of food has not gone down. Gas in my area of Pennsylvania/Maryland actually went UP 55 cents from a month ago.
If the tariffs are driving prices down and making us rich rich rich why not put 1000% tariffs on everything and see if we can drive prices down to zero while making us kabillionaires, amirite?
I'm sorry to say this but the only way for millions of Americans to open their eyes is for trump to go, well, full absolute trump. Which means tanking the economy, more discrimination and abuse of power and overall things going a lot worse.
The populace REELECTED this guy. You reap what you sow
There are also few meaningful data points this early on for any of the numbers he's talking about. He's literally got nothing to go off of. Even if you DON'T automatically assume he is lying every time he speaks, there's no possible way this statement can be accurate.
We're not raking in anything. There was an article yesterday saying they haven't collected a single tariff due to computer glitches bc of waxing and waning tariffs.🤣🤣🤣
Well, he did promise to reverse the actions of his predecessors. That wonderful economy we had under Biden? Reversed. Civil rights? Reversed. Human rights…hmmm, there’s a pattern here…🤔

But yes.
He’ll back down.
He always does.
Jeez. The bullshit never ends.

Just like your president.
Have a great day! 😉
Of course countries are trying to negotiate. The gov't of Japan doesn't decide where privately owned industry goes or what it does.
The tariff plan is ruining your country, & honestly, who would take the below par jobs? You'll produce but can't afford to buy
He sees the tariff money as of it is coming in from "other" countries even though they are paid by US consumers.
Anybody?...
Anybody???
