Trump said other countries were paying the tariffs.
Now he is removing tariffs to help US consumers… who were paying the tariffs.

He doesn't have the legal power to impose tarrifs in any case!
He should get the Nobel Prize for economics for inventing free trade!

@randahl and yet I still can't buy something from a European company without at least a 18% extra tax placed on the item.
And he's the crux in my mind. The colonists back in 18th century were paying a total of 7% tax (a half percent lower than the current state tax I pay where I live) and look at what they did to the government.
I'm not against taxation, any government has to, but I'm definitely paying way more than the colonist did and they ousted a King.
@randahl under donalds logic, I’m officially considered a country. Ordered samples from China and paid the import duties/tariffs.
Tariffs are taxes on foreign (imported) goods - paid by national consumers.
@randahl The dementia is strong with that one.
