[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8884400, member: 683408"] Nobody has. And I'm sure with good reason, as a correct answer will contradict what Trump keeps repeating. You'd never admit he is lying by contradicting his claims with facts. That would ruin your narrative. Got it. So instead of providing a valid argument that will dispute what all the economists say about Trump's tariffs, you'll spin off on some nonsense about the "non-economic" benefits of the tariffs. And if I ask what the "non-economic" benefits are, you'll spin off on some OTHER tangent that has nothing to do with it, until we circle back around to the original claim that making goods more expensive for US citizens will cause Mexico, et al, to stop sending us drugs, and to keep people from illegally sneaking into our country. While you continue to refuse to even answer the most basic question of who pays the tariff fees. In one year tariffs took $40 billion more out of our pockets when we bought stuff, the taxes on those products didn't fall, we didn't get more for our money, and national security wasn't improved a bit. HUGE success though, because TRUMP did it. And they applauded. [ATTACH type="full" width="531px"]61618[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
