Fox viewers STILL imagine that foreign exporters will simply reduce their profit margins to 0, or even go into debt, for the privilege of selling trinkets to Americans. (sh.itjust.works)

"Build the wall and Mexico will pay for it"

The headline is a clear indicator that OP doesn't understand how global trade works.

Chinese companies don't import goods into US, American companies do... Amazon, Walmart, gap, etc

They serve as an Importer of Record and they pay the tariffs, which squeezes US companies profit marhin first if they chose to continue to import.

Them being able to pass on the tariffs on consumers is TBD...

Sure medical supplies, not much of a choice...

But a lot of this consumption is just brain dead American normie buying plastic Chinese trash. They will have to decide if it is worth for them.

But the idea that US corpo recovering 100% of tariffs on discretionary products is is just corpo propaganda that y'all larping too hard.

Get educated

Duh. Exactly what I'm saying. The importer is paying the tariffs, not the exporter.

How about YOU go educated yourself, and while you're there get fucked lol.

This person very clearly understands what is happening, hence the second sentence. It's just phrased in a way to not immediately cause magas to engage in their rejecting of reality at the site of criticism.

I think that was pretty clear sarcasm. A lot of people hate read/comment on Fox News.
