Wherever the tax lands, it costs the consumer money and raises money for the government, I tried to make that point but your little pea brain can't understand it.
For decades the US has allowed tariff free imports and applied only a small 5% sales tax on products landing on its shores. That has made the US a massive export partner for China, the EU and much of the world.
The problem is that those very nations who profit from selling goods to the world's piggy bank are taxing items the US sells into the EU, UK and China at four times the rate. They are extracting the Michael.
Trump has simply pointed out that this isn't fair and he's willing to address it to protect America from being pilfered. The woke news of course see this as "orange man crashed world markets"
Sorry but it's just a long overdue correction. Any nation operating a ruinous trade deficit (like the UK) should do likewise to promote a better balance and internal competition that brings jobs, taxes and prosperity.
Sadly the brain dead lemmings (like Quady) are being led over the cliff-edge by their "trusted" mainstream propaganda arms
Think critically old chap, if you're able to.
