β€œYou're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

@MissingThePt backfilling the currency stabilization fund after using 20B to get chainsaw boy thru the Argentinian mid terms
The Ballroom is out of the news for a few weeks and everyone forgets? It’s called the Epstein Ballroom. Make it stick.
@MissingThePt
So now we know where to get it.
@MissingThePt - the US of A will still be liable to refund much of that.
So foreign supplier previously sold import for X.
Wirh tariffs, X+25%.
Supplier made US customer pay the 25% by raising prices, got same or similar profit.
Now the 25% will be refunded to the foreign supplier "because: illegal".
US feds will have to pay the 25% by raising taxes on US taxpayers since the money went to genious ideas and is "gone". That is, not the rich, only the taxpayers.pay. Again. Double whammy.
@MissingThePt
If it could be argued that some of those 175B went into tax cuts for corporations and billionaires, would it be a hint about how to get back (part of) the money?
@MissingThePt can't forget about Argentina too!
