If President Trump's negotiating skills net the USA 100s of billions of $s in unexpected wealth

from the Middle East (and elsewhere) doesn't the Trump family deserve a 10% commission?

!!! NEWS FLASH !!!

Tariffs in the US are NOT paid by foreign businesses or foreign countries. They are paid by US consumers. Tariffs are TAXES on items purchased.
@ElwoodBlues

but Fox News says otherwise...
@rinkydinkydoink Have you got a quote from Fox News to that effect?? This Fox News item says the US importer pays the tariff and passes the cost on to the US consumer.

"The entity that pays the [tariff] is the importer ... And they have to decide whether they're gonna mark that [item] up, and almost always they do."
@ElwoodBlues

Touché
@ElwoodBlues

You'll notice there are zero MAGA responding - there's a reason for this: most (if not all) have me blocked (or I have them blocked)
@ElwoodBlues What’s more, they are amongst the most regressive of taxes!

@rinkydinkydoink Same. But that’s OK. Their delusions and lies are tiresome.
@KunsanVeteran

None of their blatant lies/delusions/deceptions seem to be having any affect on the voting public. How many times have you read or heard of people who voted for Trump wondering what the hell is going on?!
BUT - - they'll STILL never vote for a democrat? Look who the democrats continue to trot out as their spokespeople: Pelosi, Shumer and other assorted, worn out names from the past.

The dems need another JFK. And right quick, too. Someone with vigor (a favorite JFK term, btw)
@rinkydinkydoink Could be Mark Kelly. There are some very strong women, too. Lt Col Tammy comes to mind…!
@KunsanVeteran

Kelly! Yes - - the man's a fighter.
Keep in mind, I'm a Canadian so I'm not up with all those who are worthy. Like the Lt Col for example. But if you're vouching for her, she must have gravitas.
@rinkydinkydoink Tucker, Tucker, Pants on fire?
@KunsanVeteran

I don't get you - Carlson? The smirking face guy? What about him?
@rinkydinkydoink OMG! I would have been honored beyond words to serve with Tammy Duckworth! She’s absolutely amazing and never, ever backs down from a fight, nor fails to give 1000 %!
@ElwoodBlues @rinkydinkydoink. Well, it’s not like FAUX Nudes are exactly internally consistent…

It’s tough to coordinate all those lies, diversions, deflections—just ask drunkard Petey…
@KunsanVeteran

Yeah - I was playing dumb about Fox News reporting the real skinny about anything at all 🤣
