Trump rage-tweets lie that foreign companies pay tariffs, says those who don't support them are Anti-American [View all]

In a rambling Truth Social post published shortly after midnight Sunday, the president revived his fiction that foreign companies pay tariffs—even though the duties are levied on U.S. importers—and said anyone who doesn’t support them is anti-American.

“Those opposing us are serving hostile foreign interests that are not aligned with the success, safety and prosperity of the USA,” Trump wrote. “They couldn’t care less about us. I look so much forward to the United States Supreme Court’s decision on this urgent and time sensitive matter so that we can continue, in an uninterrupted manner to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

But after two key conservative justices sounded skeptical on the government’s position, the president has repeatedly lobbied the court via social media post.

“Despite the massive amount of money being made by the United States of America, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, as a direct result of Tariffs being charged to other countries, the full benefit of the Tariffs has not yet been calculated in that many of the buyers of goods and products, in order to avoid paying the Tariffs in the short term, ‘STOCK UP’ by purchasing far more inventory than they can use in order to avoid Tariff payments in the short term,” he wrote Sunday night.
