    I am so goddamned tired of him repeating the lie that foreign countries pay the tariffs. Sure, their citizens pay any additional retaliatory tariffs, with the middle/lower class of each country paying more as a portion of their income. They think they’re being sneaky transferring wealth to the top 1% and unfortunately there are not enough people paying any attention to the grift yet.
