It's mostly the rich that pay the tariffs, that's why the left is howling about them. Same with illegal immigration, great for the rich, bad for the poor. 

It’s actually everyone who pays the tariffs. Importers pay them on goods entering the U.S., and the cost is then passed on to consumers. Many Trump supporters seem to believe that tariffs are paid by the foreign countries exporting to America, a misconception that Trump has repeated many times.

The Tariff revenue is not correct.

 

I am sorry I called you a liar. But the caption on the photo is wrong. 

It’s meaningless unless backed up by facts. just because the troll in chief says he bilked the American consumers out of 8 trillion to fund his tax cut for the wealthy is meaningless unless backed up by facts.

How stupid can the Americans be to believe this they are paying the tax not the importer. Trump is a conman  why dont you see it.

We all know that Trump is not very good with numbers, and he's very intellectually challenged when it comes to facts and truth, so this number is likely totally off the mark. But even if it were true it would be tantamount to him bragging about raising taxes on the American consumer, who pays for the Trump price increases, and it will result in massive inflation and in the next year or two. Dumb and dumber.

Just to gain some perspective on this claim, last year the USA had a grand total of $3 trillion in imports.

August new jobs just 22,000.  Pitiful.  Wonder who the poor shlub is this time that gets to deliver the news to Trump and get immediately fired.

Could that be a reason that Trump hates facts and fact checking?

Yeah, the left loves taxes until they actually have to start paying them. 

 

Tariffs hurt the rich much more than the poor and help the poor much more than the rich, that's why the left is howling about them.
