So you don't believe that Trump's tariff brought in over $150 BILLION in tariff revenue in 2019 alone?Cannonpointer » Yesterday, 7:17 pm » wrote: ↑ Right. So it is American consumers who are paying for the wall. Thank you for finally stopping the **** and lying, you **** liar.
OH, look how cute you are, ****. You're pretending that everything we import from Mexico has an American competitor that is languishing unbought. All those melons and jalepenos and papayas and mangos that American consumers are going to pay more for, they COULD buy from AMERICAN mango growers. They just hate Americans.
You dishonest queer.
Didn't you read the chart? Or are you unable to see that Mexico paid us OVER 6 TIMES WHAT THE $6 BILLION DOLLAR WALL COST IN ONE YEAR ALONE?
Don't know if a genius like you is capable of doing the simplest arithmetic, but that's a NET PROFIT OF $144.6 BILLION in new cash revenue coming to the US FROM MEXICO once the chump change of the $6 billion the wall cost!
So, you think that there's a huge list of products that Mexico is the ONLY source in the world for?
If we DON'T make a product domestically, OR there is no American business that is starting up a company to take advantage of those customers right here, OR there is no OTHER country who is NOT being punished for their unfair trading practices that can fill that need, OR the Mexican producer chooses to absorb the cost of the tariff himself in order to keep his volume of sales to the US the same, then yes, that product WILL cost slightly more, and of course that too will lower the sales of that Mexican product as American consumers choose an alternative product that they can substitute for that item.
Seems to be a lot of "ifs" that your counting on to back up such a myopic opinion, don't you think?
That's at least 5 factors that will determine whether or not Americans pay a penny more to cover Trump's tariffs.
