It’s wild that nobody has yet pinned Trump down on what he thinks tariffs are.

I think he may literally believe China would pay tariffs on the goods we import from them.

I think we all know what he thinks they are, it is just a mystery that nobody says straight up to his face that he is full of shit and doesn't grasp the basics of anything.The press does a fulltime job of sanewashing his codswhallop instead of just saying that the guy is a clueless dumbass. His whole life people have been sanewashing his tripe, and that's how we got here

@mloxton Obviously Trump is wrong about a lot of things.
Very often it’s a matter of scale. He thinks some number is larger or smaller than it is. Crowd size for instance.
Sometimes it’s a conspiracy theory of varying levels of insanity. People eating pets for instance.
I bring up the tariffs thing because I think it’s somewhat distinct in his oeuvre. His incorrect beliefs about them aren’t a Trumpian exaggeration or a Fox talking point or a 4chan meme. He’s just getting it wrong.
