Mega MAGA
I don't believe you.
IF I believed you (I don't), then you must be a really SHITTY negotiator (that part I WOULD believe).
Thank God that our current Commander in Chief is a very GOOD negotiator. He just got done bending the EU over furniture, and as a USA citizen, it was BRILLIANT to see. It's ABOUT DAMN TIME that they pay up.
I don't believe that you own a company.
You are SOOOOOOO out of touch. Many MAGA supporters purposely do NOT watch Fox News (I'm one of them). They (like me) treat it much like they treat CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of 'em.
You have no idea what you're even saying here.
Unlike you, I typically do my own research.
I don't believe you. Ask me how I know.
Democrat governors shutting their state economies down due to fear mongering is NOT equivalent to tariff policy.
It's not about "goodness of their heart"; it's about profits. I already explained it to you.
You're still wrong, no matter how many times you keep saying this. Maybe the exporter takes on some of the cost. Maybe the importer takes on some of the cost. It's not just automatically all shifted onto the consumer, if ANY of it even gets shifted onto the consumer. As I said, companies already charge the consumer a price that yields them the highest profits. If they would retain higher profits by simply eating the tariff cost instead of passing it onto the consumer, then that's what they'll do.
Maybe the exporter and importer make a deal to share the tariff cost (the exporter still wants to make sales too, you know, so if they have to take a slight hit to make that happen, then they'll do it). It all depends. Maybe the exporter pays for all of it. Maybe the importer pays for all of it. Maybe the exporter and importer share portions of it. Maybe the importer passes some of the cost along to the consumer in the form of higher retail prices. Maybe the importer eats the cost because they still profit a shit ton and they still retain access to all of their consumers (instead of pricing some of them out).
There's a lot of ways that it can play out, but what data shows (historical during Trump 1.0, and current during Trump 2.0) is that, generally speaking, the prices of goods/services DID NOT and ARE NOT rising "due to tariffs". It's a media lie meant to scare people into opposing economic/trade policies that are actually benefitting them for a change.
Still wrong.
