Trump keeps saying that. It's technically true of course, but Trump still seems to think that foreign countries are paying that money. Do you think he really believes that or does he know that its the U.S. importers who are paying it, and that they eventually have to pass it on to their U.S. buyers?

David Frum:

"What a tariff is, is the equivalent of hitting yourself in the head. And he’s saying to the world: “We will not stop hitting ourselves in the head unless you all agree to hit yourselves in the head.”

Whether Trump believes that other countries are paying the tariffs or not is irrelevant. Whether, by repeating his lie on a loop, he can convince his cult that the other countries are paying them and the cult members aren't is relevant.

MAGA cult members: Those increases in prices are surely Joe Biden's fault; they can't be Fearless Leader's tariffs.

Hokey smokes, we are so screwed.
