The Trump administration keeps saying that other countries pay for tariffs, but that’s not how they work.
Tariffs are effectively taxes on imported products, which the American people ultimately pay.

Leavitt: Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries and a tax cut for the American people
Reporter: Have you ever paid a tariff? I have. They don’t get charged on foreign countries
Leavitt: I think it’s insulting that you are trying test my knowledge on economics

He's actually not in the Trump administration! He hasn't been elected to any position! He's just a rich attention whore! People on x just keep feeding his ego! Just because something currently happens in Congress, it's not because because of Musk! He has both sides of the aisle, believing his BS

Why did Traitor Trump give unrestricted Treasury Department access to an illegal immigrant Nazi from South Africa (Elon Musk); an immoral, atheist, man whore (Elon, again); an absent father with the personality of a slug (still Elon)?
Is he the anti-Christ? (I mean Trump this time.) Maybe,

Everything these idiots are doing is illegal
The courts will catch up & they will be stopped
Question is
Why didn't democratic congressmen attend every rally in each of their respective states yesterday. Why didn't they promote those rallies.

Don't forget — Republicans are still trying to ram through another round of tax cuts for the rich.
They're now reportedly trying to hide its huge cost by using alternative deficit scoring methods.
They can't hide from the truth: it's yet another trickle-down scam.

Gerrymandering in North Carolina gave Republicans the US House majority. While their margin is historically small, and chaos will soon consume Johnson’s GOP Caucus, rigged Republican maps continue tilting the balance of power away from American voters and toward right wing pols. Reform badly needed.
