  1. They created so much revenue that they had to beg companies to not raise prices, threaten them to not blame tariffs when they did, and dangle relief checks in front of us. Oh yeah, I'm really feeling all this "revenue"!

  2. First, nothing this administration reports can be trusted as accurate. Second, whatever they collected, from whom was it collected? Certainly not the foreign exporters. Instead US importers and ultimately us, the consumers, will be paying. But at least Trump will have a new plane and ugly ballroom

  4. Yeah!: Remember DOGE went in with a wrecking ball to government Departments in the first 60 days of FAFO! So, I guess WE Americans "LOST" $150B! REALLY!? "WE LOST?"

  5. First & foremost its a lie. It is not that much money & not that much beyond what we have collected since long before half-wit Hitler bumble-fucked his way in. Also a lie because every dollar is a dollar paid by an American to the government which is sort of, kind of, the exact same thing as a tax

  6. I'd be interested to know how much of that money ended up in Trump's pocket. It really sucks to be living in the nightmare of having a criminal enterprise in charge of the USA.

  7. The biggest grift of all is moving all tax/tariff money from the 99% into the pot and then giving contracts to the 1% to privatize that money. They are going to make sure non of us, or the government, has any money left.

  8. Trump behaves like the U.S. economy is his personal ATM machine. In his imagination, Donald believes his tariffs shake down plan will retroactively receive U.S.trade compensation in cash, for trade deficits occurring at the time of his birth!!!

  10. "Just wait-- we're going to be SOOOOO rich". --Donald Trump

    (And by "we", he meant he and his billionaire friends, at the expense of everyone else). Is that clear yet, America?

  11. But don't worry, Trump is going to share that with people. Give everyone* $600.

    *Except liberals, basically only MAGA gets the spoils.

  12. Collected from the American people, not the importers or exporters. This is a direct tax on hardworking Americans from MAGA.

  13. Businesses paid that and it’s added to the work they do. And some of them are going to go out of business because of this. But, yea, let’s brag about it.

  14. If that's what they "collect", it's not even 5% of the annual budget. If I got 5% extra on my salary, I couldn't even get a good TV or laptop with it. In words, it's not worth the hassle since they will spend more than that on labor, travel and other costs to make the "deals".

  15. The Art of the Deal was a scam played on the American people who believed it was real. Followed by The Apprentice.

  16. Should probably check his math here. You know he can’t do the numbers too goodly. Like to see the checks that all those countries wrote to cover these tariffs also. Because Americans aren’t supposed to be paying them.

  18. 150B out of the pockets of working class Americans, in a country where it's harder to find a job, buy a home, and afford the basic costs to live.

  19. Do these GOP subhumans think about what happens to them when the unwashed masses figure out that it’s THEY who are getting taxed? Heads on pikes, bonfires, etc?
