      You can’t make fun of me for getting exactly what I voted for because I didn’t know what the word “tariff” meant at the time.

      I want to ask how they think a tariff would work if it didn’t effect the cost to consumers, but I’m like 100% certain they didn’t think about the consequences of it at all before blindly cheering for something they thought would hurt their enemies: the people who sell them cheap slop clothing.

        someone here recently said they think trump understands tariffs as taxes, like it would explain why he thinks a 100% tariff on mexico is the ultimate punishment you can do to them because a 100% tariff tax is all of their money!

        might also explain how the hogs understand tariffs as well
