You are obviously under qualified to be an average American given the horrendously low IQ score that the post of yours above indicates!

Posts using derogatory and toxic nicknames or intentional misspelling of people’s names will be removed. If you don’t want your post to be removed, spell people’s names correctly, this applies to both sides of the political debate.

As someone once said "The problem with America is 50% of the population is below average intelligence"

Which means that 50% of the population are above average intelligence!

What tariffs did China, or any other country, pay in tariffs?

Tariffs are paid by importing COMPANIES (and customers if the costs are passed down) not COUNTRIES!

"So 145% tariffs on China," Moran said. "And that is basically an embargo."

"That's good," Trump replied. "They deserve it."

"It'll raise prices on everything from electronics to clothing to building houses," Moran said.

"You don't know that," Trump said. "You don't know whether or not China's gonna to eat it."

"That's mathematics," Moran said.

"China probably will eat those tariffs," Trump replied. "They were ripping us off like nobody's ever ripped us off … They're not doing that anymore."

I am going to put tariffs on other countries coming into our country, and that has nothing to do with taxes to us. That is a tax on another country,” Trump said.

“It’s not a tax on the middle class. It’s a tax on another country.”

“it’s not going to be a cost to you, it’s going to be a cost to another country.”

“For decades, they gave up to China. I’m the only one that — do you how much — China has paid almost $700 billion in tariffs under me.”

Who ya gonna believe? The FNC (Fake News Complex) or our beloved stable genius president Donald J. Trump?

WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he would tariff and tax countries to enrich Americans, promised an overhaul of the trade system, and said the United States would establish an "external revenue service".

"We are establishing the external revenue service to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues. It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our treasury, coming from foreign source," he said in his inaugural address.

You obviously don't understand economics like our "greatest of all time" commander-in-chief. You'll be singing a different tune when your tariff rebate check arrives! ...........any day now.

President Donald Trump has now given his most specific timing yet on his proposed $2,000 “tariff dividend,” telling reporters on Monday, Nov. 17 that payments will likely begin “in the middle of next year, a little bit later than that.” The checks would go to “individuals of moderate income,” he said, and would be funded by what he calls massive inflows of tariff revenue.

Well done that probably puts you in the top 50%, When the quote was made on a tv station in the states it caused hundreds of complaints even though it is true for any country or group.
