Did you know we were already making 700 billion in tariffs currently?
No, the US government is making billions in tariffs… By charging importers, who then pass on the cost to YOU (this is how tariffs work). Consider it a Trump tax; you’re now paying 15 to 20% more for everything so Trump can crow about how great he is. And because of how spending works, that means that the less you make, the MORE you’re paying.

Trumpers believe that they can replace all government tax revenue with tariff revenue, and they believe that other countries pay the tariffs, so in their minds, this will create a new system where they get 100% of their money and the US doesn’t go bankrupt.
