So do Americans (edit: who support Trump) understand that they are the ones paying the tariffs? When Trump tells them how many billions he’s collected in tariffs do they realise it’s their money he’s collected? I keep wondering if I missed something…
The people who didn’t vote for him certainly know. It’s the same tactic he used with “build a wall and make Mexico pay for it”. The rubes that voted for him either don’t care, or aren’t intelligent enough to realize how much this hurts them.
Woah, hold on. Pump the brakes. He diverted federal funds aimed at improving living and childcare buildings on a military installation for those funds, in the end!
Yes, many Americans do understand this. But many others do not, and those are the ones in charge now. We don’t want them to be in charge but there’s not much we can do about that at the moment.
I don’t understand why non-Americans assume we’re all as stupid as the trumpers.
It’s all good, I’m just a bit of a bitch when it comes to American stereotypes, since I fit absolutely none of them. I’m not fat or stupid or loud or rude, I love to read, I hate guns, I hate pickup trucks & fossil fuels, I love trying international foods, I’m humble… (this current comment notwithstanding)
People like me feel like we’re surrounded by idiots, and the idiots are in charge, and it’s terrifying. Then the idiots (trumpers) tell us to leave if we don’t like it here, and yet why the fuck should we? They’re the ones ruining everything.
Anyway - yeah we do know these tariffs are a tax on us. Personally, I wouldn’t mind a tariff on some things - if the proceeds went to strengthen social programs to protect & help those affected by the loss of jobs to foreign manufacturers. But the trump regime is pocketing this tariff money and telling the common people to suck it up.
Because the voters of Drumpf have one brain cell rolling around up there like a pinball machine and they NEVER WILL WIN! (Why they believe everything on FB). Idiocracy and Facebook is ruining the brains of people.
It won’t stop because Zuckerberg is already a trash human from stealing the idea from someone else then fucked the twins over, and now is okay with sucking Drumpf’s dick… he’s the definition of an idea collector, pretending it’s was his… just like his idol Drumpf. Hence why he’s willing to bend the knee and suck that dick! He’s an embarrassment to the tech community! Fuck Zuckerberg and all “his” social media!
NONE OF WHICH ARE HIS OWN IDEAS! FB was stolen from the Twins, instagram and, WhatsApp was already established companies! He’s basically the Elon Musk of the tech industry! He’s such a POS!

Based on my neighborhood local Facebook group, no they are still a bunch of idiots.
The dumb ones don’t, so at least a third of Americans think they won’t pay a penny more for anything tarrifed.
They are so insanely stupid.
The cult members will be the very last to figure it out/admit it to themselves.

We are not a hive mind.
It’s not a question of understanding. It’s a question of what they choose to tell the rubes.
There’s a lot we could be doing, but we’re not.
You’re right. When I said “do Americans understand” I meant “do Americans who support Trump understand” I should have been clearer.

No matter how many times you explain it, they just don’t process it.
