Yes, this is another post to make deluded supposedly pro-freedom Trumpites squirm. Behold, the latest in a long line of cringe-worthy brain farts from the Orange Fuhrer. (See image below.) Here are a few things worth pointing out:
1 - Tariffs are taxes. Trump likes to tax people. He likes to use the violence of the state to steal wealth from people who are trying to voluntarily trade with each other.
2 - Offering to sell things to willing customers is not "raiding the great wealth" of a nation. Duh. Indeed, the most basic concept of economics--that both sides of every voluntary trade benefit, or they wouldn't do it--dictates that China enriches "our nation" by selling us stuff.
3 - What kind of control freak, parasitic, boot-licking bastard thinks that people who want to voluntarily trade have an obligation to pay a government for the "privilege" of doing so?
4 - Having the ruling class rob people--and yes, Trump's tariffs rob Americans--maxes out the power of the state, while diminishing the freedom and power of everyone else, including the American people.
5 - "We" are not taking in billions from Tariffs. The U.S. ruling class is getting rich, off of the American people. And some dumbass Trumpites are literally going to cheer for their own robbery after this.
6 - If you think that the ruling class stealing your money will "make America rich again," you're an imbecile.
So, Trumpites, bring on the lame-ass excuses and Stockholm Syndrome evasions!
