How does he benefit from this?

with Tariff revenue in the tax bill. It would be the same as adding a sales tax on the American citizens. When the CBO scores the tax package, the Repukes can point to tariff revenue to pay for some of those cuts.

Thank you

It’s part of Trump’s idiotic, wrongheaded obsession with ‘bringing back jobs.’

Because tariffs make imported goods more expensive, domestic consumers will instead buy the same goods made in the US.

The problem is that goods are being imported because they aren’t made in the US, because they’re too expensive to manufacture here. Consequently, no jobs are ‘brought back’ and consumers end up paying more.

When consumers turn to the dwindling number of products made in the U.S., they won't get a break on lower prices.

The American manufacturers will raise their own prices to match that of imported goods.

So there is another reason he is doing it.

He knows this.

But, it the story he is selling his followers.

So, when they get challenged on it, this is what they will parrot.

Put out massive tariffs on lots of things then let the countries or companays pay him off to remove or reduce the tarriff. That's why he wants them so bad - it hurts greatly the American worker class and lines his pockets at the same time. That's a win-win as far as this ceaseless hater is concerned.
