Liberals claimed that Americans were footing the bill.

Conservatives claimed that foreign countries were paying for the tariffs.

Today’s launch of the refund portal is effectively the government admitting that the "bill" was picked up by Americans, and the courts have ruled that money shouldn't have been taken in the first place.
 
Put this in the Corporate Reparations column along with bank bailouts, airline and auto subsidies, and other too big to fail plans.

Manufacturers pay the tariffs
 
All consumers dont have to buy but manufacturers have to sell. Prices drop
Well, FedEx is gonna give you a refund if you used their service. Frederick will use the money that Trump was forced to give them back.

Why are you getting that refund if you’re not a manufacturer?

 
This is all on a SCOTUS full of traitors and a former AG who didn't want to win the case.


Constitution clearly states FOREIGN POLICY is an executive branch function. Tariffs are foreign policy.

The Constitution did not want every country's tariff rates decided by 535 "secretaries of state" in the US Congress.

Trump did what he was elected to do, he did a "fantastic job" on that, and Bondi and SCOTUS "canceled" it in total disregard for what Constitution says.
 
Manufacturers paid tariffs on the materials they imported to manufacture what ever they make.

Every other business paid tariffs on everything they imported.

All these extra charges were passed onto the consumer because that's how business works.

Everyone talks about gas but forgot to mention diesel. Almost everything that is manufactured or imported is shipped by train or truck and they will start charging more eventually if they haven't already because trump did such a wonderful job with his war.

Trump has specifically said, and he's said it many times, that OTHER COUNTRIES pay the tariffs.

In a normal world, that would be known as a "lie".

But the flock can't admit he's a liar, so they've tried to spin it. IF they even KNEW.

Manufacturers pay the tariffs to stay price competitive.

That makes exactly zero sense.

This is why I no longer discuss markets & economics -- my career for over two decades -- with Trumpsters.
Consumers dont have to buy and wont pay high prices. Manufacturers must sell or go broke. That causes an increased in supply and prices drop. You dont know anything about economics.
 
Which stipe in the rainbow flag is for white men?
AI Overview

A February 2026 Federal Reserve Bank of New York study found that U.S. firms and consumers bore nearly 90% of the economic burden of tariffs implemented in 2025, which raised the average tariff rate from 2.6% to 13%. These tariffs were responsible for the "entirety of the excess inflation in the core goods category."

Once they've adopted a lie in to their belief system it's virtually impossible to dislodge.

Simple question. Woman wearing a cape in your cartoon, had a rainbow flag t-shirt.


So, PRIDE is a political alliance of diverse groups.
