For example, if Canada ships a Canadian product with a Trump tariff on it to the USA, does the Canadian seller pay the Tariff or does the USA consumer pay it?

Thanks for your help. Brian

I must confess that I was fishing for some genius to repeat Trump and say that the US pays nothing, but nobody was biting. LOL.

Apparently he is now MIA for several months. I guess it got too tiresome defending the idiotic policies of Cheeto man…

So Trump is protecting the American consumer from lower prices? What a great idea!

Wow, how long did you have to work at misconstruing that? Did you use the OED to look up other-than-normal-use definitions? You aren't this new

Cause specific? Like every single item that is imported? No matter if it is new or used, something we make or grow here or not? That is the problem with Trump's tariff policy, it is not specific at all, it targets everything that comes in to the country and ultimately the consumer pays the cost increase.

You just are not very good at this Jeffe. Maybe Mike can find a cartoon to explain it to you

Keep drinking the Koolaid. Tariffs are good and the importer bears all the increased cost, right?? Nothing is passed along to the consumer, right? Inflation will be cured if Cheeto Man can get everyone on board, right?? Doesn’t it get tiring defending orange jesus and his idiotic policies and inept cabinet appointments?

At least we're not so stupid as to agree to a system that doesn't let us pick. Makes no difference to those born of wealth and privilege, I guess. Like you.

You quack from the cheap seats. Or the wealthy powerful seats, I guess. Same difference for you.

You always talk about how stupid American voters are and I wonder, "What the fuck do you know about it?" You were born into wealth and privilege and you run your mouth continuously about how stupid all of us Americans are but what the fuck do you know about it? You're a rich arab. Always have been. What the fuck do you know about it? Nothing.

Your stupid silly little country exists because of us. If anybody was interested in taking it, you'd be on your knees begging us to help you. You're not in a position to defend yourselves. Never have been. You're weak and exposed without the United States of America. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.

I get that it engenders resentment among you folks that depend on somebody else to ensure their sovereignty and independence. But, never forget that we know that and that we could squash you like a bug if we felt it was necessary. It would be better if you just thanked us rather than insulting us continuously.

Have a great day.

You should seek Financial recompense from your "educators"... try again, reading the WHOLE sentence... if you continue to struggle with comprehension, my tutor rates are only $250 per hour, cash up front, 5 hours minimum, no carry over

Or you can keep chewing on it, like a bully stick... did you run out, as you seem to praise them often as a solution

Tissue for your issue?

Did you even try to read the whole sentence, or did you just bloviate, per usual, stevie? Just resort to pushing your agenda, again, per usual....

Why, well, since you haven't completed your assigned tasks, let me add another

Spend an hour on your favorite ai, and have it explain "protectionism in an economic and political sense"

Let me know when you have finally finished a task, k?

I don't see anything reason to keep others back while you TRY to catchup

Keep chewing, little guy, you can do it

Meanwhile, I'll get back to other things, as i see fit
