When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated. Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year. Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!

Tariff Man is looking for an escape hatch - put regressive taxes (tariffs) on the poor and give tax cuts to the rich. MAGA will eat it up, but I'm not so sure about wall street buying the tariff part.

Chinese store TEMU is charging the 145% Trump tariff.

MAGA are confused. They thought Trump said China was gonna pay the tariffs.

Someone's opinion on the Tariff-ic President (#45/47).

Opinion: Naming the Biggest Winners From Trump’s Disastrous First 100 Days

No, there is no question. By far the biggest winner of all the winners Trump has made is Chinese President Xi Jinping and by extension all the people of China.

China was making great progress in the world on its own, innovating, growing and leading. But Trump is proving to be China’s second Great Leap Forward, someone who will personally make 1.4 billion Chinese citizens more prosperous and who will accelerate China’s ability to assume an ever-greater global leadership role.

That’s apparently what Trump meant by “so much winning.” That’s four times as many people winning thanks to him as would’ve been if he had done the thing many presidents have tried to do: help Americans.

But he’s smart that way. He’s an innovator. He’s a deal genius. And the result is that yes, yes indeed, just as he predicted, I’ll bet that here you are, just 100 days into Trump’s second term, and you’re feeling pretty damned sick of winning already.

Small businesses bawling for help in the misfits' great merica!

...the US Chamber of Commerce has urged the Trump administration to implement tariffs exclusions to stop the country falling into a recession.

The group has asked trade officials Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick and Jamieson Greer to automatically lift tariffs on all small business importers and on all products that "cannot be produced in the US", our US partner network NBC News reports.

The business organisation says that is needed to keep the US economy from inflicting "irreparable harm" on small businesses and to "stave off a recession".
