    Casting further doubt on the "foreigners will pay" claim from the Administration, July import prices rose 0.4% month-on-month while ex petroleum they were up 0.3% versus expectations of 0.1% MoM increases for both. Tempering the news is some downward revisions to June of 0.2 percentage points to both, to -0.1% and -0.2% respectively.

Ya'll seriously got poop for brains if you believe that foreigners pay Chump Taxes. Take it from someone who actually exports to your shithole of a country.

The only impact on foreigners is a *possible* reduction in demand for their products. In my case, you can't get what you buy from me over there in the Un-united State so you HAVE to import it you silly, silly, dumb ass fools... talk about shooting yerselves in the foot...

My prices always remain constant, if Chumpy wants his cut of Tax then he ADDS to it and the importer pays. NOT ME YOU DUMB ASS FOOLS

Look at the USD Index, can you see mass inflows of foreigner dollars paying these Chump Tariffs? Looks like a bit of a Mass Fucking Exodus to me.

PPI shows that US COMPANIES are absorbing the costs for now. But hey, the tariffs only really came into full effect like 2 weeks ago. Typical dumb people forget that Economies are like ocean liners. You don't turn those bad boys on a dime. But when you do turn them, they are FUCKING NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP OR TURN BACK AROUND AGAIN ON A FUCKING DIME.
