Trump boasts that his tariffs have raked in billions. There’s a chance his government will have to pay a lot of it back.

Trumps Big Butt Bill is 100% reliant on unrealistic economic growth and tariffs paying for his friends massive tax cuts. IT WON'T HAPPEN and America's economy, which was humming along prior to January will continue down the recent path into stagflation.

‼️🫤 That may be so, but who will such a refund be addressed to? 📌 Suppliers from abroad? 📌 Consumers who have already paid for the goods? ☝️💥 Trump did not foresee one thing - lawsuits, and there could be thousands or millions of them, will eat up his own Government. 🇺🇸☹️ This will destroy America.

If they "pay it back" it will be to the Trump Organization.

Well then, where are all these billions? I would like to see a valid accounting for them and their valid redistribution. Right now all I can see is mere words and boasts-and they have zero value in the TRumpian regime. Show me the money!!

Of course he'll have too...unless he's corrupted enough of the courts to get what he wants. We know he has the Supreme Court. And then of course, he does ignore the lower courts.

Trump brags about billions in tariff cash, until the courts say you might have to give it all back.

If the tariffs are paid back to the businesses that paid them, will those businesses then refund the higher prices they charged their customers? That's not likely.

Good luck with that. Guaranteed it’s all going right in his pockets. There’s no way in hell anyone will get him to pay it back. You won’t even be able to pry it from his cold dead hands.
