    Anyone who listened to Trump and Vance explain them basically. For months they’ve been straight up lying to their voters that if they put a tariff on China, then China would have to pay to ship their products to the US. How they’re going to bring in all this money from China and the rest of the countries that had been supposedly “screwing us” in trade.

      And all those tarrifs are to even trade out. But also to allow us to eliminate the income tax! Just don’t ask about how we’re going to make up for all of the money taxes bring in, or any of it once trade evens out and we don’t need the tariffs anymore.

      It all makes perfect sense, you see. /s
