Your president is an idiot that is why your being charged more MAGAt.
You’re no longer his friend
And nothing of value was lost.
In other words, Brandon has no fucking idea what “tariff” means, except it must be good cuz Daddy says so.
I wish the US media would call tariffs “import taxes”, as that terminology seems to be generally better understood by the public.
Then they’d blame the liberals for adding a new tax when all Trump wants is tariffs.
Yesterday I type “what” into my search engine and within the top 5 was “what is a tariff”. Import tax would make too much sense and people wouldn’t stand behind it if it was referred to as such.
I get that tariff is the correct word and I understand what they are, but I am sure people like my dipshit cousins had no clue until a few days ago.
To be fair, Trump doesn’t even know how tariffs work properly.
Someone on reddit (from where I stole this pic) said ‘Trump thinks tariffs are like tributes’ and I think that’s a perfect analysis of Trump’s mentality.
Isn’t that correct though?
Whenever someone does something, they need to pay tribute to Trump. So, it’s like tribute to him.
Just like how it works in Russia. Funny that.

Tributes are still a thing. See Australia “buying” $300bn submarines from the US.
So I can somewhat understand why Trump thought this is what tariffs are haha
(My grumble, you’re not wrong)
Trump doesn’t know how fucking anything works.
Apparently it’s difficult to grasp that price increases when thing get more expensive.
But why? Is it because of Biden? Please don’t explain it to me.
It’s because of Hunter Biden’s laptop
Why would Hillary’s emails do this?
But her emails!!
Buttery males

The catch is that the ones who don’t understand always, ALWAYS think it’s the other country that pays the tariff. Every time.
The dumb thing is that it doesn’t matter who pays the tariff, it still will get passed to the consumer. Consider a scenario where the government starts taxing Amazon $100 per order no matter what’s in it. If you buy a $10 item on Amazon, how are they going to pay the $100 tax on that? Amazon will just add a $100 tax fee to your order because they can’t keep running a business if that cost isn’t baked into the final price. It doesn’t matter who actually delivers money to the government, the tax gets paid by all parties involved.
FYI, sales tax is already done this way. Sales tax is collected from businesses, not customers, but customers still pay sales tax because that’s just how economics works.
Right, you and I get that, my point is that the people who are confused why their tariff-impacted goods cost more don’t get that. They think the other country pays it, full stop.

I specifically chose a fee that was higher than the actual cost so dumbasses wouldn’t nitpick about greed and profits and yet you still somehow did it, so I’ll take the bait- please explain to me how a business can operate selling an item at $10 when they have $100 in guaranteed costs? Do you understand that this means they lose at least $90 on every transaction at that price? I get that companies are greedy and skim more off the top but this is pure idiocy to make this argument in this hypothetical.
Even if that’s true the price would still increase. The exporting country would just charge extra to make up the difference. It’s not like they would just absorb the extra cost by pure goodwill for the oh so poor American people.
Well, that’s exactly what Trump said would happen, so why would they think otherwise?
You all are snowflakes but please explain this to me without triggering me
This is MY safe space and you can’t come in!
Do your research.
Ok, ok. Trump absolutely loves you just as much as you love him, double if you’re uneducated. He told all of the businesses that they should lose money on sales and go out of business instead of raising prices. It’s those businesses who are assholes. They haven’t even started manufacturing in US, and hiring white Americans to make t shirts yet, and its been a whole week! If you support Trump, then boycott businesses who pass on tariff costs, because they just don’t love you/America as much as he does.
You voted for it, you figure it out
That profile picture looks EXACTLY like I picture those people… I hope this is a joke.
He looks completely normal. Don’t be an ass.
He meant they look happy. (this is a joke)
I’m impressed they are line iteming it for you.
I absolutely would. Make it clear that you aren’t just arbitrarily raising prices, that there is a cause, and exactly what that cause is so that people are pissed about it but at the right people.
When there tariffs change every time Trump goes into Twitter, i would expect them line itemized and with a timestamp.
I’m seeing more companies making it a “tariff surcharge” right before the tax line item.
It makes sense. It is clearly to show to dumbfucks who voted for this how their dumbfuck decisions cost them.
What’s to explain? You got lied to by a liar who says he never lies, and you believed him.
It’s like complaining that you didn’t realize the Leopard you elected would have spots, when he’s ALWAYS had spots.
A tariff is a tax on foreign goods, paid by the consumer.
IT. IS. A TAX
Probably the whole reason behind it. A tax that your deeply tax-hating clientele is not recognizing. And also a regressive tax, that hurts poor people disproportionately harder then rich people, compared to taxes like income tax.
Sorry, Copium is produced mostly in china, im gonna have to hit you with a tarriff surcharge
Also comes from Russian or North Korea!
Russia certainly produces it in lathe amounts but they mostly need it for domestic consumption these days. The Norks, though. They DGAF whether their slaves are coping so you might get some from there.
Don’t worry, that’s just a can of bleach and ammonia mixed together. An alt-right mouth told them real copium is a conspiracy and they should use home made copium instead. The mouth sells these kits you see…
This is 39% of the voting population folks…
Big sad. :(
I would be short and concise, and just for this person add a sprinkle of personal responsibility:
Trump taxed you because you bought something un-American.
The extension:-
This costs more because you have to pay off Trump as it contains something un-American.
Is it surprising that the people who thought Mexico would pay for a border wall also don’t understand how tariffs work?
