    The quote actually sums him up nicely. His feelings are more important than facts, at least in his own deluded mind.

    He still doesn't understand how tariffs work.

    Ironically if you change the word tariffs with taxes and you'd get the inverse approval/disapproval.

    Say it ain't so! But China has total respect for his very, very large brain.

    We the consumer pay tariffs through rising prices. That's our money filling the coffers. Tariffs were the precursor to the national income tax. We got rid of them when we got the income tax. Now we are going back to both.

    Do you feel the same way about taxes just wondering. I agree with your comment above besides we didn't ever stop them

    Yep, it is a double dip into your pocket.

    Think of it this way, KMF. You make knives, and you sell them. Suddenly Broward County says any knives made in Dade County and sold in Broward will have to pay a $25 dollar tariff to sell them there. Do you eat that $25 or do you raise the price of your knives $25 that you sell in Broward County? Odds are you raise the price. So when you pay your tariff check to Broward, you are just giving Broward County citizens their money back.

    I don't mind paying taxes, just don't pretend that someone else is paying them when I know full well I am.

    I feel the same way about deceptive taxes. We didn't stop tariffs completely, but they are a tiny fraction of what they were.

    This shit is amazing. Reading his tweets is astonishing and should disavow any idea he's playing three dimensional chess here. His breakdowns are epic and provide great insight that Mueller is hitting a little too close to home for him.

    Same reason I laugh when people say a wheel tax is more fair than a property tax because if you rent you don't pay property taxes.

    Most companies will just buy stuff from other countries with lower to no tariff and it will be business as usual. I bet some Chinese companies will setup factories in these countries as well. Long run this hurts China way worse than it does us. imo

    That said I am not a big fan of tariffs.

    Yeah, it still leads to some (smaller) price increases due to the shuffling in supply chain. Living that right now, luckily it's buying season and it's not enough to deter people yet.

    Its all just [penis] waiving though. And we have two leaders with equally small [Richards] doing the waiving
