/—-/ We’re not happy with it. We are happy with a president who is fighting back for a change instead of all the linguini spines politicians who let China rape us. BTW if Hildabeast did the same thing would you be screaming at her?/—-/ The Chinks will be forced to absorb the tariffs or part of them to keep their prices competitive.'President Trump said in a Twitter thread Friday that China is paying billions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury due to tariffs hours after he reignited the trade war with a tariff spike. This is a claim he's made before, including back in January, when he said it twice during a press conference and on Twitter.
Reality check: The tariffs are paid by U.S. importers of affected Chinese goods, not by China's government or by Chinese companies. Importers then either raise costs on consumers, lower their own profit margins or both.'
President Trump is wrong on how China tariffs work
What a fucking idiot Trump is...he does not even know how a tariff works.
Hey MORON...it's an import tariff. Why the fuck would China pay for an import tariff? Moron.
What a useless piece of shit he is.
Except for the fact that American companies are taking advantage of this and raising their prices as well. The only one paying is the consumer, just like with every other tax. Never seen you faux-Cons so happy about a new tax before. Amazing what you will accept coming from your god in the White House
