1. The tariffs will never generate "trillions" of dollars, but even if they did

... it's the TAX that we Americans would have to pay. It's not paid by foreign countries, nor by importers and exporters. It's paid by US when we buy the goods in our retail stores.

In addition, the American retailers and manufacturers are already RAISING PRICES on non-foreign merchandise that is made here in the US, because they CAN. The tariffs are a huge cause of inflation this year, and we Americans are carrying ALL of it on our backs.

How does Chump explain that? He can't, because he doesn't even understand it.
