A tariff is a tax. These are Trump TAX hikes, and they should reminded of it. Often.

This is YET MORE proof that the so called "liberal media" has been the conservative press all along.

He is telling his base that these countries are paying into the Treasury and the followers don't even realize they are paying for it. My nephew is getting invoices in his business that say "price increase reflects the future effect of tariffs." tRump has lots of company in the business world. They are a big part of his base.

Give them more than a dozen words while describing it's an extra tax on the goods they buy, and the crackers get confused.
