...and it's true that we pay.

But what it is that Trump gains with tariffs beyond just fucking with Americans eludes me.

And yes, when the government steals from people and gets caught, they're normally obligated to pay it back to the victims out of the general fund that we all pay into.

It's not as if they're going to recover their losses by the government pretending to associate them exclusively with the revenue they collect from taxpayers.
