Great news! Tariff $150B income for July breaks monthly record!

Trump is out there every day working for the American people.
Golfing, you mean.

A giant step up from the senile party puppet hiding in the basement while nobody knew who was running the country. Biden struggled to find his way to the podium and could barely read a script once a month someone wrote for him. I will take Trump and his transparent government letting the people know what he is doing for them every day.
You are a cult member.

Trump has engineered the blatant theft of nearly $1B of tax payer dollars. he plays golf on your dime. Millions of them.
 
Before it was hard to find items made in the USA, Walmart is where I used to go to buy "Made in the USA." Other stores only had the made elsewhere.

around 60% of Walmart's imports were from China in 2023


I think you missed my point, and it becomes a consumption tax. Not an income tax. I welcome consumption taxes.
It means price increases.

This is slightly better but you still only praised Donald twice in your post when you really need to set the bar to three distinct pieces of praise per post. Otherwise how can Donald expect to take you seriously as one of his foot soldiers? Sure, you were able to work in some But Bidens, and that does count for something, but the Trump Org really needs you to up your game when it comes to praising him and his children.

I can't stand consumption taxes. I would rather the government take what it needs out of my paycheck and just leave me alone after that. The nice thing about income taxes is they are relative to your income. Thus your taxes are low when you starting out in life, higher as you make more money and are more successful, and then in retirement, they are low again. In contrast, a consumption tax often hits people at their worst. Car engine blows, so you got to go out and get a new car, add in a big sales tax and personal property taxes. You got two kids in daycare and your basement floods, well, that 10,000 dollar furnace and 1200 dollar water heater gets a sales tax added to it, plus a sales tax on the labor to install it.

For the life of me, unless someone is a trust fund kid, I can't imagine why anyone would prefer consumption taxes to an income tax.
 
Thank you President Trump!
You don't seem t9 understand, you are paying it!

Good God, please take the time to understand what you posr about.

This entire chorus of buy american is stupid as **** and unhealthy.

I have lived God damn well for 70 years.
 
Only the crazy mindless magas can celebrate a tax increase on the poorest Americans as if it is a good thing. They must come from a different planet to normal thinking people.
Are you suddenly against everyone paying their fair share?

Cool. Then buy the other 40% of products that are made here and havent been impacted by tariffs.
It means price increases.
Price increases didnt bother you under Biden, so they shouldnt bother you now.
 
Tariffs ultimately get paid by a combination of the exporter, importer and consumer.
The exporter does not pay a single penny of a tariff. How can you guys still be getting this wrong after 7 months?
This is why Ford and GM have have large write-downs, and this is why other counties are complaining so much, this is why we're seeing a tiny uptick on inflation. The bigger picture is somebody has to fund the goverment because our DOGE efforts have fallen flat due to unpopularity from the masses.

Are you claiming the only 2 countries Walmart buys from is the US and China?
Nothing from Europe I suppose?
 
Somebody has to fund the goverment. Foreign companies don't like tariffs because they're the one that are partially paying for it.

Us companies as well

By that (broken) logic, neither does the consumer.

How, after 7 months, do you still not know how tariffs work? This stupidity about the exporting country being punished by having to pay the tariffs is so monumentally ignorant, that I feel sorry for those of you who still can’t grasp economic reality.
 
It would be nice not to have to beg China for masks during the next pandemic for our hospital workers.
Tariffs won't increase domestic production of Hospital masks... That's silly. Low-skill / low-wage manufacturing is never coming back.

You just keep thinking that while wall street runs into record territory, and not just wall street foreign markets too. There's something about monetizing your knowledge.... that's why the rich keep getting richer.

I have no idea what this incoherent ignorance has to do with you not knowing how tariffs work?

Or Vietnam

Or Taiwan

Or Japan

Or South America

Or Mexico

He’ll, when Walmart has fresh produce out of season where do people think it comes from?

WW
 
Thank you President Trump!


Yay!

Another 150 billion dollars out of the pockets of the working man!

Where do you think that money comes from?

It sure as trump is a fat duck isn’t the countries he tariffed nor their businesses.

It’s a tax on consumers. Paid by the importer and passed on to the customer.
 
Hilarious. Leftists like you worship millionaire elites in the Washington Establishment who ANNIHILATED the standard of living of poor and middle-class Americans over the past 4 years. Nobody has done more to help poor Americans over the past decade than Trump.
When your media tells you something you believe it.

It does not in fact make it true though.
 
Money's coming in!!!
It's coming from your and my pockets. What in the world is wrong with MAGA to not understand this. And what's worse is the fact that the majority will go toward the billionaire tax cuts. The regular folk suffer as usual.
