If Trump TAX tariffs are so good, why doesn't Trump want Americans to see what it costs us?

📌Hold on, goddammit: If tariffs are so good for our economy, why doesn't the White House want us to see what they are actually costing us??????

Hey look, this one doesn't have a tariff charge.

Just shows, it is all bullshit. They have no plan, no policy. Just madness.

with the lies he is telling us about who is paying the tariffs. It doesn't support his ignorant notion that somehow a foreign nation is paying revenues to the US. Of course, none of that is reaching us. We'll only get it when we see the empty shelves.

Stopped in an Old Navy and was hit with 40% off signs on many items.
One thing I did not find was a price tag.
3 racks, same thing. This is everywhere.
No price tag, NO SALE!

Now show us the cost of chump's killer tariffs or we will not purchase anything besides essentials.

sharing any facts about his lies. Lies about tariffs, lies about who pays the tariffs, lies about who he is making “deals” with (nobody). It’s all bullshit. He is letting the country’s economy burn down while he plays golf and knows that the Republicans are so scared of him he can get away with it.

Donald Trump as President is about like George Costanza sleeping under his desk.
