Not sure how the tariffs being worked into the prices instead of being paid separately would change anything for the Yanks stuck with paying them but by golly he sounds so confident about it
Does he think people are freaking out because they assume the tariffs are going straight to Xi’s bank account 
you know, it’s interesting the weird framing.
probably unconstructive and wildly inaccurate, but it might be funny to characterize the tarrifs as the US paying China back for owning US public debt. chuds were always freaking the fuck out about the US ballooning the sovereign debt by “borrowing from China”. what if we pushed the narrative that the tarrifs are trump raising taxes to pay back this debt and that it’s what Americans should do?
sort of turn their incoherent rhetoric in on itself with some snappy, quick narrative about the “US finally, rightfully, morally etc paying its debts”.
the moral confusion about debt and the distinction between personal, financial, and sovereign debts in America seems like a ripe playground for fucking with these lead addled bozos.
“US finally, rightfully, morally etc paying its debts”.
They don’t want this though. They just want America to fuck over everyone else. They don’t actually want a moral America, they want a powerful America.
If this were a video game it’d be time to just hit the reset button and try a different strategy.
Trump’s playing on Ironman mode like a chump.
Here I am every Wednesday sitting at my kitchen table with an eyeshade on, sifting through receipts to calculate the week’s tariff payments that I owe.
