“Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on,” Trump said of the tariffs during an interview with ABC News that aired Tuesday.
And you can’t really argue with that.
Ok this is the third thing he says i agree with in these 100 days.
One of the few times I agree with this flatulent.
If you lie so much you’ll have trouble keeping your story straight, and eventually make a mistake and drop a few truths in there somewhere
He also said tariffs were a tax that other countries paid…so there may have been some confusion over what exactly they were agreeing to.
It doesn’t matter who pays the tariff. Anyone with half a brain knows that the cost will be passed down to the consumer either way.
If you’re not informed and take Trump at his word, I can see how you might end up thinking the tariffs were a country-to-country transaction, like literally China paying the USA.
In that case you wouldn’t necessarily arrive at the conclusion that the cost has to be passed on, along the value chain.
But on the other hand I don’t have a good track record of estimating what uninformed people who don’t care to seek information think…
Eventually he farts out a truth… You got what you voted for. It’s just the many morons that voted didn’t understand tariffs, basic human decency, or that fascism=bad.
This is why I think Trump stickers next to prices should say, “You did this.” He not only won’t except blame for anything but he’ll gladly shift blame to the people he’s hurting the most.
