However the narrative belies the facts ,as usual with Donald.

How Tariffs Work and Who Bears the Cost

Initial Payer: The legal liability for paying the duty at the border falls on the U.S. importer. The importer pays the tax to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the port of entry.

Cost Transfer: To maintain profit margins, these importing firms often increase the price of the imported goods when selling them to wholesalers, distributors, and finally, consumers. Economic studies consistently show that the cost burden of tariffs is largely borne by U.S. domestic firms and consumers.

Impact on Exporters: While not paying the tariff directly, foreign exporters are also affected. Their products become more expensive and less competitive in the U.S. market, which can lead to reduced sales. In some cases, to maintain market share, foreign exporters may choose to cut their own prices, absorbing some of the tariff's impact on their profit margins.

{quote} Yes, US dividend announced, same as DOGE story. But where is the money of this great savings result? Next summer midterms looming, many ways to shift the blame for the missing payment onto other weird persons or parties.
Unless I am mistaken, the sarcasm there was that the US taxpayer received essentially $0 in DOGE savings despite the $2Trillion promises and, therefore, will be receiving $0 in stimulus checks, again, despite the promises. And, yes, the inability to send these checks will 100% be blamed ok the opposition party.

Not a bad strategy really. Either A) the will go out and the Republicans can claim to be helping the taxpayer, thus securing votes or B) they don't go out and the Republicans can blame the democrats, thus securing votes. So everyone gets jerked around to keep folks in power. Politics suck.

Playboy fuckup Donald Trump famously bankrupted five casinos...and walked away scot free. The damage he is doing to the USA is yet to be calculated. And he and his family will suffer not one bit.

Despite the fact that the likelihood, IMO, of any direct stimulus being given is slim to none, it is, ironically, the citizens doing most of the buying (and keeping the economy afloat...aka those making more than the stimulus threshold), who will NOT be given any stimulus. *Worst sentence structure ever....but you get my point*

"Despite the massive amount of money being made by the United States of America, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, as a direct result of Tariffs being charged to other countries, ..." may be true, but who pockets the money? - Not the buyers of goods and products.

Trump has never had to worry about inventory logistics. He’s always sold the sizzle and never the steak. Literally!
When it’s time to deliver product he’s moved on to the next grift. Why would politics be any different for him?

Do you think Trump is a good advertisement for young people to attend the Wharton Business School. Particularly the economic classes on tariffs.

Trump: Ukraine "leadership" has expressed zero gratitude; Europe continues to buy oil from Russia
From @realDonaldTrump | Nov 23, 2025 | 48 comments
The War between Russia and Ukraine is a violent and terrible one that, with strong and proper U.S. and Ukrainian LEADERSHIP, would have NEVER HAPPENED. It began long before I took office for a Second Term, during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and has only gotten worse. If the 2020 Presidential Election was not RIGGED & STOLEN, the only thing the Radical Left Democrats are good at doing, there would be no Ukraine/Russia War, as there wasn’t, not even a mention, during my first Term in Office. Putin would never have attacked! It was only when he saw Sleepy Joe in action that he said, “Now is my chance!” The rest is history, and so it continues. I INHERITED A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, A WAR THAT IS A LOSER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SO NEEDLESSLY DIED. UKRAINE “LEADERSHIP” HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA. THE USA CONTINUES TO SELL MASSIVE $AMOUNTS OF WEAPONS TO NATO, FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UKRAINE (CROOKED JOE GAVE EVERYTHING, FREE, FREE, FREE, INCLUDING “BIG” MONEY!). GOD BLESS ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE HUMAN CATASTROPHE! President DJT
Trump: Had a very good call with President Xi. Our relationship with China is extremely strong!
From @realDonaldTrump | Nov 24, 2025 | 13 comments
I just had a very good telephone call with President Xi, of China. We discussed many topics including Ukraine/Russia, Fentanyl, Soybeans and other Farm Products, etc. We have done a good, and very important, deal for our Great Farmers — and it will only get better. Our relationship with China is extremely strong! This call was a follow up to our highly successful meeting in South Korea, three weeks ago. Since then, there has been significant progress on both sides in keeping our agreements current and accurate. Now we can set our sights on the big picture. To that end, President Xi invited me to visit Beijing in April, which I accepted, and I reciprocated where he will be my guest for a State Visit in the U.S. later in the year. We agreed that it is important that we communicate often, which I look forward to doing. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J.
