$15 Billion And Climbing: Trump’s Tariffs Deliver Record High Revenue

[rambot]

I have to laugh that the US which historically has very very low tarrifs, now appears to be bragging about "historically high"...

Well no kidding. Your economy never really had them before.

I guess historic doesn't necesarily mean "Good"...so....

Hey it's not a tax if Trump does it. In fact, it doesn't actually impact anyone at all in any way.

Except for that kid who touched a tarriff and his conjunctivitis was healed.

Ah, so general making america great again.

Good to know.

Tariffs lead to business closures. Small businesses especially. They ,lack the resources of larger companies, and are particularly vulnerable as they may be forced to raise prices, reduce their product lines, or absorb higher costs to stay afloat, with some ultimately unable to do so and shutting down.

Of course they are Trump’s idea so all good.
