Donald Trump has completely berserk all caps meltdown
Donald Trump still doesn’t know what a tariff is, or he wants you to believe he doesn’t know what a tariff is. But he knows darn well how his caps lock key works – or perhaps it’s just stuck in the “on” position. As Trump’s tariffs continue to cause more economic harm to the American working class, Trump is going completely berserk about it:
.
IF OUR FORMALLY TARGETED FARMERS NEED ADDITIONAL AID UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE TRADE DEALS WITH CHINA, MEXICO, CANADA AND OTHERS FULLY KICK IN, THAT AID WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, PAID FOR OUT OF THE MASSIVE TARIFF MONEY COMING INTO THE USA!

Suffice it to say that the responses to Trump’s meltdown were anything but kind:
P.S. More money has gone to farmers than we've made in tariffs, which are actually paid for by U.S. importers, not China.
A negative balance is what you can expect from a businessman who lost $1.17 billion over a decade.

Somebody still doesn’t understand that tariffs are taxes on consumers (US citizens)

P.S. THERE IS NO MASSIVE TARIFF MONEY COMING INTO THE USA!

You said this in December. Were you lying?
TRUMP: “China has already started to buy. I told them — four, five weeks ago it looked like we were going to get to a deal. I said, ‘Start buying now. You’re going to start buying now.’ And they did.”
