Trump either doesn’t understand that American consumers pay most of the cost of tariffs, or he simply doesn’t care.

I firmly believe that Putin has been telling him for years that tariffs are what America needs--as he then sits backs and laughs as the orange dotard does exactly what he suggested.

What was Donald J Trump's plan with all of his new tariff money?

The US government buys more Teslas, and spends more on stays at Trump's hotels, and buys more military stuff.

He understands because he’s now heard it a hundred times. He doesn’t care and to save face (in his mind), won’t back down, whether he is wrong or not.

Both points can be true at the same time - he is ignorant of how tariffs actually work, and he doesn't care because he thinks his lemmings believe everything that comes out of his lying mouth (and they do).

Trump can buy and sell stock in advance of market fluctuations resulting from his tariff games. That’s all that matters to him.

Trump has no economics expertise. Trump does not understand Trade. Or surplus versus deficit. Trump does not grasp the basic rudiments of business. It’s clear when he speaks on these matters. He is just BS’ing his way through. It’s clear he’s completely out of his element. It’s embarrassing!

Trump is a figurehead personality cult leader like Shitler. There is a backer there somewhere with a brain. It used to be Quanon but not sure its them anymore. Shitler had a similar setup moving from one platform to another via Eckhart. Whoever it is seems intent in crashing economy via Trumpet.

And because he WOULD make a deal with them. Performative as it is, he got his moment in the sun, on the phone with UK PM, and there's trump acting like he DID something and slanging that attitude, "it's a maxed out deal that can be expanded." JDV taught him those terms and he's gonna USE 'em!!

We pay for tariffs so it makes sense to the idiot in Chief as a way to make up revenue shortfalls because of the tax cuts for the rich. Simple math for a simple mind.

Redistribution of wealth. We, the consumer, pay the added tariff and the money goes back to the government’s coffers where Trump spends it on himself and his friends and investors.

It seems increasingly likely to me that the logic behind everything is nothing other than to install a war economy - "unnoticed behind all the mess" - before a war is started. The fact that universities are now being asked to provide information about Chinese students fits in with this.

Somewhere, 30 years ago he heard a voice say tariffs were "good money makers", missing the part where they said, "but screw up trade & the economy whenever they are used." So he decided he would be a $$ maker for the country & he was happy & won't listen to anyone. Narcissism running rampid.
