Trying to control the narrative. Why bother? Only the dumbest can't see what's going on with prices!

Into believing believing tariffs were paid by foreign governments - that it was free money coming in so we could tax ourselves. I even had an extended conversation with someone intelligent enough to understand that tariffs would result in price increases - who still described, in detail, how the foreign government collects the tariffs to send to the US (and the foreign manufacturer would need to decide whether to increase it's prices enough to cover the tariffs they would need to pay).

So, unfortunately, it's not o only the dumbest who still believe tariffs are simply a tax on ourselves.

But what are you going to do about it, Buttercup?

People need to see the truth about tariffs!

This is a threat designed to make a deal with Trump.

They're all imitating Trump now. Threat, posture, bluster - then quietly make secret deals.

The country is run by mobsters.

I’m not sure why Bessent would have a problem with the transparency since he thinks the tariffs are such a great idea.

Liberation Tariffs

Transparency and the consumer wants to know what their order costs, broken down by category. I make my decision on whether to buy from a retailer based on what it cost to do business with them. If I can buy something cheaper at another retailer, I’ll back out of an order and get it cheaper (or faster) elsewhere, What is wrong with telling the consumer what the price is — in detail? If tariffs are such a great idea, be honest. Tell the consumer what the tariff cost is. Stop trying to hide it.

Glad we can see the math.

The truth scares trump
