Tariffs are working big time. Every country on earth wants to take wealth out of the U.S., always to our detriment. I say, as they come,Tax them. If they don’t want to be taxed, let them make or build the product in the U.S. In either event, it means jobs and great wealth.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 5, 2018
That's not how any of this works!..Because of Tariffs we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the $21 Trillion in debt that has been accumulated, much by the Obama Administration, while at the same time reducing taxes for our people. At minimum, we will make much better Trade Deals for our country!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 5, 2018
There is no sly genius here, just blank stupidity.
If by reducing taxes “for our people” he means corporations, millionaires, and billionaires, then I can see where that much is true.
ReplyDeleteThe rest, not so much - particularly as tariffs are effectively taxes on the middle class and the poor.
He really does think we're as stupid as he is.
