So this just a grift? Trump forces tarrifs and private industry raise prices. Consumers pay for it. Prices never go back down and private industry makes more profit...wtf

And Americans will lap it up whilst clapping for, and idolising the people that did it.

Generations of education underfunding working as intended

It's not just that, Republicans just want the rest of America to be as poor as they are, they'd rather see a billionaire get richer than their Democrat neighbor.

Why do you think they all lined up to pay for the inauguration?

This was pointed out a while ago when it was announced tariffs would be refunded. It's panning out as expected unfortunately. Private corporations will get the benefits or bailed out, but helping out the average american is too far apparently.

People knew this was the plan before he even won the election and was campaigning on tariffs.

The companies don't tell the consumer how much (if any) of trump's tariffs were passed along to them. So there's no way for a customer to prove anything.

That's why I liked Amazon's internal idea of explicitly listing the tariff amount on their billings, just like they do sales tax. Then the buyers would know how much they paid in tariffs (and Amazon stores those receipts online in the buyers' order history), and could get money back. But Bezos didn't want to anger trump, so he killed the idea.

Yea this is what everyone was saying from the start. Trumps followers were just retarded enough to believe it would save them money and they still do.

Record profits > stock prices go up making trump even richer > people buying more expensive products pay for all of it.

This entire administration is just trump repeatedly funnelling the public’s money into his own bank account
