  1. Wasn’t the whole point of the tariffs to raise prices, so that production would return to the USA?

  2. Why is there any debate about how and who pays import tariffs or duties? Any suggestion that the exporter pays them should just be called out as the lies that they are. What’s next? Debating whether the earth is a sphere and not flat? Debating over what cannot be objectively questioned is a disservice and distraction. Let’s quit this alternative fact nonsense.

  3. By telling Walmart to eat the tarrifs, Drumpf is basically telling America to eat the tarrifs. You and me.
