No, we put a tariff on goods they ship to us. Also these tariffs are negotiation tools if some country wants to raise their tariffs, then we can raise ours as well. But tell me now, are you paying more now for stuff you buy from China?
I already said tariffs are not set in stone.
No shit? Prices spike when there are tariffs and drop when they are removed?
The problem is, like so many things he says, it's a lie. We aren't taking in anywhere near "trillions."
According to Co-Pilot:
How much money have the tariffs brought in?
Quick Answer: In 2025, U.S. tariffs have generated tens of billions of dollars, with estimates ranging from about $88 billion year-to-date through August to projections of roughly $300 billion annually under current policies.
Breakdown of Tariff Revenue in 2025
- Year-to-date revenue: By August 2025, tariffs had raised $88 billion, with $23 billion collected in August alone.
- Effective tariff rates: Average effective tariffs rose from 2.4% in January to about 10–11.5% mid-year, reflecting aggressive new trade measures.
- Annual projections: Analysts estimate tariff collections could reach $300 billion annually, driven by baseline 10% tariffs on most imports and 30% tariffs on Chinese goods.
- Budgetary impact: The Congressional Budget Office projects tariffs could reduce primary deficits by $2.5 trillion over 11 years, assuming current rates persist.
- Political framing: President Trump has touted tariffs as generating “hundreds of millions” monthly, even proposing $2,000 “tariff dividend” checks to Americans.
Furthermore, if the tariffs are working and we have such a wonderful economy, why do 76% of Americans have a negative view of it?
Thanks captain obvious that you missed the point.
Because 92% of the time the lamestream media tells you Trump sucks and the economy is bad. Are you accepting the programming?

Ask yourself a simple question….”How much in tariffs have I paid.”
MAGA will fight all day about keeping corporate taxes down, but defend those same companies having to eat ridiculous tariffs to keep their prices down.
Can’t afford coffee? Don’t buy coffee. TA-DA! See….This shit is so simple.
Aggressive ignorance / arrogant stupidity is not embracing the idea of a consumption tax to replace and or subsidize income tax.
