If Trump made $264 billion in tariff revenue. why is he asking $200 billion for his illegal war on Iran? 🤔 #TrumpsTariffsCostUS

I remember that pedophile orange thing saying tariffs brought in $13 trillion, then $17 trillion at one point. Of course, whatever it is, it's still low- and middle income consumers bearing the brunt of it.

I have an effing advanced degree in government finance; worked successfully in govt finance for 30 years. I cannot follow this 💩. Believe me this stinks like a dead 🐟

Anytime Trump says ‘we’, he’s never referring to US citizens. He’s always talking about his corrupt family and oligarch friends. Where did all that supposed tariff money and DOGE cuts money go? Has anybody seen any of it?

How about the Venezuelan oil revenue held for some inexplicable reason in a Qatari bank instead of the US treasury. Where’s that money? Whose name is on the account? Why isn’t it being held in the US? To start.

When he says ‘he’ made, he means just that. He is the US. He gets all the enrichment, gain and glory. We get the taxes and tariffs. no healthcare, no balanced budget, no relief from costs of goods. But ‘We’ are better off, right?

A king's tax is never to be questioned by us commoners. But it isn't going to the treasury. This is why he wants to get rid of income tax - so nobody gripes about their taxes that fund stuff for us.
