It'll make us some money. I see no issue here

... you do realize Americans pay the tax, right? This is a consumption tax on American for foreign goods. Other nations are not paying this tax. You are. This is a tax on Americans.

He wouldn't do it if it hurt us. Keep listening to the misinformation. There's 2 sides to every story

Misinformation? Dude. Seriously. Open your fucking eyes. Importers aren't going to eat 25+% taxes out of the goodness of their hearts. It's going to get passed on to consumers.

I can call a spade a spade. Trump's tariff policy is awful. You can't, on one hand, spout out rhetoric about lowering taxes and then pull shit like this.
