People don’t realize that tariffs mean THEY will pay more.

Trump keeps telling his dummies that China pays when taxes are levied on that country. They are too dumb to realize that THEY pay the tariff

This should be easy for the Biden campaign to explain: Tariffs hurt consumers because it increases the price of imported goods. So they shift to American-made instead? Still gonna cost you more than you're paying now unless you want American workers like yourself to work at low wages with no benefits and pensions. Who's gonna be hurt by increased prices? It's not gonna be rich guys . . .

Also even if corporations move to American-made, it is going to take TIME (even if they actually do it, which I doubt, they’ll take the easy route out and just jack up prices. TIME to build factories, TIME to set up supply chains, TIME to hire workers. The only thing that will happen soon are higher prices and scare commodities.

But Dear Leader said China is going to pay. Don't try to confuse me with your facts. :)
