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 @JonChevreau A surprising number of Hispanics are not pro immigration. Blindly, they believe that new waves of “bad immigrants” threaten their jobs and are the reason why racism is growing.

🤦‍♂️

Not limited to Hispanics. I personally know a lot of wealthy #Indians who came from #India and think of themselves as #coconuts (brown on the outside, #white inside — ugh!).

Among them, a neurosurgeon who opposes wearing masks. Brain doctor brainwashed by #FoxNews 😞

@rameshgupta Apparently the Vance’s see the wife and kids as White instead of those ICE would tackle in the streets and kidnap based on their skin colour. @vpermar @hans @JonChevreau

For #JDVance, #UshaVance is an anchor that he is tolerating for as long as that anchor is needed, but he is already planning to make bed with #ErikaKirk, widow of #CharlieKirk.

For her part, it was not just the hug. She is probably dreaming of new whitehouse draperies and has already endorsed #Vance as president for 2028.
