I am convinced that Trump doesn't understand how companies pay for tariffs. You cannot tell me that he doesn't think that consumer prices stay the same and the companies just pay more.
All his supporters seem convinced the tarrifs will just magically make American made cheaper and all the capitalists will bring back manufacturing.
Truly delusional
Wow that’s some dedicated innovation in governance, there couldn’t possibly already be a federal agency that handles tariff collection. Mr. efficiency couldn’t possibly create a redundancy like that.
An artist rendering of the new button. The old button - the "Diet Coke Button" - is on the left. The ETMAGA "ENABLE TARIFFS MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" button is on the right.
ShowDuring Donald Trump's presidency, when pressed, a signal would summon a valet who would bring a Diet Coke on a silver platter. At one time Walt Nauta had this job. Trump reportedly also used the button to request lunch, and to pull pranks on new visitors to the White House. Trump stated to one reporter that "everyone thinks it is [the nuclear button]" and that people "get a little nervous when I press that button."

Where will the world be ~30 years from now?
A new president promising economic miracles by proclaiming "EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE" would have been a fantastic gag back in an early episode of The Simpsons. Of course if the gag mentioned social media - somebody invented time travel. And their first notable use was to secretly create the world's first video shitpost and stick it into an animation.
"In fact," mimics receiving a phone call with his hand "I just heard the Canadians and the Mexicans, they're saying, Donald, you should have called it the External Revenue DISSERVICE, because that's how much money we'll have to pay you."
He just says shit that people think sounds cool and intelligent and his thicko supporters by into it.
lol, all the economic understanding and nuance of a decade old South Park bit: Internet Money
