This is legitimately the most pointless trade war in history. Economics 101 for the MAGA crowd who doesn’t seem to get it. We are a net importer. That means we BUY more shit than we sell. Import tariffs mean that US COMPANIES PAY MORE TO BUY GOODS. The money goes to US customs. When US companies pay more to buy goods, they sell them to US consumers (that’s you, reading this post) for more money in order to maintain their profit margins. Guess which countries we buy the most shit from? Canada, Mexico, and China — the countries he just tariffed for absolutely no reason.
