A tariff is a tax. Trump has enacted the largest tax increase in decades. The tariffs are essentially a sales tax, levied on any buyers of foreign goods. There are carve-outs here and there for certain things, but overall, we now have a national sales tax on all foreign goods. If he had marketed it as such, he might have had problems selling it to the anti-tax GOP. But, Trump keeps falsely claiming that foreign producers are paying the tariffs. He keeps bragging about the revenue that is "pouring into the country." Another lie. Of course, if you raise taxes there will be increased revenue accordingly. Duh. The revenue is coming from the sales tax on foreign goods and is only being paid by American importers, businesses, and consumers. No foreign producers are lowering their prices on their exported goods. Some foreign governments are making promises about increased investments in US manufacturing. In the time it takes for any of these promises to materialize (5-10 years), Donald Trump probably will be dead, MAGA will be history, and what's left of the GOP will be deciding on whether or not massive tariffs are a good idea. How do you think that will work out?

He also is using the tariff income to give tax credits to the richest 10% in order to keep them happy.

Who pays the tariffs? So, the POTUS is using tariffs and/or the threats of tariffs to retaliate for any perceived slight? Maybe he should tariff the wind for making those ugly windmills turn?

Watch the video.

America's short term gains is China's long term gain. When the Dems and Republicans start to eat each other until the wall caves, then maybe the country will go somewhere but then that'll be someone's checkmate

For all the uneducated socialist with TDS who are not American or know anything about America, Trump had two choices to bring in revenue. He could raise taxes or do tariffs. Raising taxes was a non starter, so his only choice was tariffs. Yes some Americans will pay a little more for some products. However, they will pay less than they would have paid with higher taxes. I’m not saying he did it in a smooth way, obviously it was quite bumpy, but so far it’s obviously worked out fine.
It's funny because all the uneducated socialists with tds your referring to keep saying what you just explained from the very beginning.
So thank you for your educated explanation.

As an educated person, first you should know that US became a super power not through tariff policy but the free trade market, 2nd, to know something or anything about US as you says doesn't have to American too, right...
The problem with him is not just he has turned the tariff as revenue tools but also he uses it as weaponizing tool too, against all the countries not to mention the lie he says that foreign countries are paying the tariff.

The U.S. became a super power during WW II, when it was as far from the free market economy as it could get, it was basically command style war time economy.

Reagan had better hair and was not a fan of tariffs. Republicans have been free-traders for most of the last 80 years, until Trump.

Most businesses' that have been keeping their prices lower to help cover tariffs for importers to the US are going to stop soon as they have found new markets all over the world to sell too. The advantage of shipping goods to the US from Canada is no longer sustainable so America will no longer receive goods from Canada.
I doubt they will find a cheaper alternative.

Not sure what the end goal is with Canada. They keep trying to fight Trump by themselves. Do they not understand they can’t do that? They are not large enough to win any sort of trade conflict. They just to agree to a reasonable deal like most every other country. Won’t effect usmca at this point anyway. Canada economy doesn’t seem to be doing all that well and cutting off the US will hurt them far more.
Man, Canada is not trying to fight Trump since they know what a laughing stock he has became in the world stage. It looks like he has picked a fight with Canada for no reason.
If you think that US economy is in good shape and doing well under him just because of its tariff than you live in your inner world.

What a bunch of noise-makers here. Everyone has some brain trust insight and opinion that what Trump has done for America is "stupid', is not done under his own leadership, or is only by mistake or that it will all fall down in a matter of a few months. You guys do not know when to shut your mouth and realize all the TDS media sources will never be happy with anything this guy does. Meanwhile his administration has accomplished more good for Americans than any administration has since....who knows when. Onle thing is certain, TDS democrats would complain about an all expense paid vacation in Hawaii if it was provided by Trump. What a bunch of blabbering armchair quarterbacks duche bags.

Data so far before shutdown, shows that USA economy was doing good. Stock market is also showing that. Not sure what rock you live under, but get out of it, long time ago.
