Americans, not other countries, paid Trump's tariffs in 2025

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said foreigners would pay for his import tariffs. A new report says Americans picked up most of the tab.

@JonChevreau 🇨🇦 Too bad most Americans didn't do their research, and trusted Orange when he said the exporting countries would pay them.

Just like Mexico pays that expensive wall...
@hans because of the wall, every single Spanky 2.0 voter KNEW he was talking out of his ass. He has had a track history of removing trade markets, hurting economy, wanting to destroy affordable health care…
@Carolyn That's why I still can't get my head around the fact that this grifter was elected a second time.

Everybody with more than 2 brain cells knew he was a liar, an open racist and misogynist, a fraudulent business man who had lost billions and a fucking convicted felon!

The alternative choice was a woman who had a history of serving society and no criminal record.

How on earth did the American people think that this orange mobster was the better choice?? 😱
@hans I still remember the horror of seeing people at his rallies hold up “deport them now” signs, so racism played a huge role. Prime example of cutting off noses to spite faces. Extra mind blowing were Hispanics seeing that and still thought they belonged.

@CStamp @hans

I saw an opinion that said: he gives them permission to be their worst selves.

And that's all they care about.

@davidtheeviloverlord @hans Oh, absolutely. I remember not long into his first regime seeing an article in which a mother with a baby stroller clocked an old Hispanic man in the side of the head with a brick because “maybe” he bumped the stroller as they passed on a sidewalk. With the stroller, she probably bumped him, but regardless, should not have been a thing. Life in MAGA world, Im which common decency and respect are not only not common, but no existent. .
