“The argument's over: Americans pay for tariffs”

[archives]

“The Trump administration conceded this weekend what economists, CEOs and consumers long knew: Americans pay for tariffs”

“Nearly a decade of Trump trade arguments held that foreign countries, not Americans, paid the ultimate cost of a trade war. But the President and his economic team now acknowledge that tariffs are raising prices for everyone, from industrial ports to retail storefronts.”

“After Walmart said this week it would raise prices, a furious Trump insisted on Truth Social on Saturday that the company "eat the tariffs" — a concession that someone this side of the border had to pay something, somehow. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent then went on Sunday shows yesterday and said that while Walmart would eat some of the tariffs, consumers would have to pay, too.”

“It was only May 11 that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick insisted people had to drop the "silly arguments" that consumers would pay the costs of trade levies”

Shocker, Trump acknowledged acknowledged one of his own lies, not that it matters, other than the Red Hat Club, most Americans knew he was lying, that he usually does

And I can recall MAGA posters here that echoed the same, that Americans don’t pay for tariffs

So, after all the attempted whataboutisms, you are now finally that Americans do pay for Trump’s tariffs

Just like we've been paying for years to live the pockets of leftist politicians. It's amazing how you miss the forest for the trees

We’ve been “paying for years to live the pickets of leftist politicians”

What the hell are you talking about

You are just too fucking stupid to understand anything.

Except for Trump...and all the suckers who continue to back him...EVERYONE knew that the (mostly) little guys will pay for the entire of the tariffs. The suckers who continue to back Trump are, for the most part, some of the people who are going to get royally screwed by this tariff bullshit.

Poor anchovies,
Do you realize you are making the case for minimum wage hikes and raising corporate taxes?

I am pointing out the reality that the American public will pay for Trump’s tariff idiocy, and that Trump and his lemmings lied about that fact from the jump

Poor anchovies,

Not if they buy American. Why do you hate America?

Trump admitted that when he threatened Walmart and wanted them swallow the added costs. What are the added costs? It is the increase price due to Trump's stupid, stupid tariffs.

Your mind is out of wack

Yeah, good luck with that one, and I guess you think all Walmart shoppers also hate America

Random phrase. No apparent coherency. Yakuda was talking about the waste in USAid and why it was shut down.

Try to pay attention the conversation, anchovies.

 

[Into the Night]

You are just too fucking stupid to understand anything.

You addressed your response to the wrong person, Blat. You should've responded to anchovies.

Why does a dwarf have to pay any higher tariff than anyone else??

Why pay a tariff at all? By domestic!

Tariffs are not idiocy, anchovies. They are a tax on imports. Buy domestic instead.

 

[Into the Night]

Trump admitted that when he threatened Walmart

Trump never threatened Walmart.

and wanted them swallow the added costs. What are the added costs? It is the increase price due to Trump's stupid, stupid tariffs.

What added costs? Most stuff in Walmart is from domestic sources. No tariffs on it!

Random words. No apparent coherency. Bigotry.
