A few members of the Administration, including Trump himself, have suggested that the proposed new tariffs could bring in an additional $600 billion in new revenue per year. That's an astonishing claim.

Al, Al, Al... Clearly you don't understand the system here. Trump said it. His yes-men (and yes-women) said "yes". So that settles it. It must be the truth. Because they said so.

The $600 billion will magically appear out of thin air and there will be no impact on the economy at all. It just takes enough faith to believe in it for it to happen. And if it doesn't happen, it's Joe Biden's fault. And Hillary! for not being prosecuted for her not-crime. Probably Hunter, too.
