Trump couldn’t resist praising himself at a Purple Heart Day ceremony, reminding the crowd that the injuries he suffered during last year’s assassination attempt weren’t “easy” for him either.

Looks like JT is going to have to write a 1000 word essay on how gerrymandering and a mid decade census helped upend the midterms.
Circling back to this. Why don’t more critics call this a tax? Everyone uses the term “tariff” and the GOP has successfully convinced their base that the foreign nations pay for tariffs. But a tariff is a form of tax. It’s a tax we are paying. This is moving us from income tax to a consumption tax. Lower and middle class households spend proportionately larger % of income on expenses vs savings/investments. We also find it harder to buy alternatives that avoid tariffs. So, this is a regressive tax.Rand Paul tries to speak sense to Larry Kudlow on tariffs: "We're getting $2 trillion in taxes on top of all the other taxes that we have. So ultimately conservatives have to decide -- do they like taxes because they're Donald Trump's taxes?"

If anybody still believes that the foreign countries pay these taxes, they are idiots. Like blindingly stupid.
I was talking to somebody about how prices for everything in my restaurant have gone up. Their answer was "well, just buy 'Merican then!". I do, dummy. Tariffs upset the ENTIRE supply chain. A case of 3 bottles of bleach has doubled in cost. If 1 single thing in the supply chain used to make that bleach, like packaging or ink used to print on the bottle, is affected...cost goes up.
It's literally one of the most simple economic concepts.
I think some people are just willfully ignorant. They are so blinded by partisanship that they just cannot comprehend that what they are being told by their leaders is a lie. For all the talk you hear about indoctrination at schools people spend a lot of time being indoctrinated elsewhere
