When Trump created his 'Big Beautiful Tariffs' I knew that Americans would pay. It wasn't clairvoyance or special knowledge. Raise the taxes on something, the price goes up. Common Sense.
Today I saw this on CNN
Americans are paying more.

He and his followers are the stupidest people alive. They have no connection to reality. It is like their parents never toilet trained them, and they are disconnected.
I knew the second he was raising tariffs the price would go up for Americans.
Some countries, like China, pretended tariffs would effect them to play Trump. But considering our markets are jammed with stuff that comes from China (or it's outlets like Vietnam, Cambodia, etc) what difference does a US tariff make?

@LadyDuck Trump knows nothing about anything. Anyone could check and learn that China trades with more countries than any other. It doesn't need America. But able to play Trump it acted as if the tariff's hurt, so that Trump could feel in control.

Yes, of course. But tell him that. His deranged mind sees it as a win. His approval rating is in the junk pile along with the rest of his BS. He can't touch anything without it hurting the U.S.
