These disgusting a**holes don't want freedom at all. They're cowards and they stand around waiting to be told what to do by some "daddy" figure. They've found one in Donald Trump. What they want is the unrestricted "right" to oppress everyone they don't like.

BASH: Well, OK. But many — most economists, I would say, disagree with you on that.

No Dana. It’s not just economists disagree with Howie. It’s that he’s lying. Consumers ultimately pay the tariffs. That’s just a fact.

BARRASSO:” The president said he is going to follow the law.[…]. And I expect that the president will.“ I guess multiple felonies don’t count now the satsuma tsunami is “president” again.

Next: We are going to PRAY AWAY the costs of the tariffs! You just need to believe in the Lord Almighty and the arthritic, crippled hand of the free market.

You could ask these taint lickers "cake or death?" and they couldn't give a straight answer.

I don't live in Santa Monica anymore BUT, as a graduate from Samohi, I sure as hell hope that the Jewish Nazi is not, and will never be, on the "Wall of Fame" there.

Yeah stores may eat tariffs in the short term but eventually prices are gonna rise.

These people know it as they had econ 101 at some point...they are just such sad pathetic liars.

Not only that - but as one of my friends said who reads the Financial Times *every* morning --

"Once those prices go up, you know they're not gonna come down"

Business exist to make a FUCKING PROFIT. How does this fucking moron not understand this? If the cost of doing business increases then those costs are ALWAYS passed off to the consumer. We have CENTURIES of data proving this. Your magical thinking will NOT change this very basic fact.

That Thing in the Offal Office has a very different business model -- borrow huge sums of cash, declare bankruptcy, and stick his creditors with the mess.

Businesses sure as hell didn't eat the cost when prices rose due to supply chain issues or inflation. They just used those as excuses to raise prices even more and reap record profits. We're in for more of the same.

Maybe he plans to enact an Executive Order that will require the American businesses to eat the cost.

He done hereby decreed.

It's nothing but absurd gaslighting to claim otherwise. Oh yeah, those corporations are TOTALLY going to eat those tariffs and never pass them onto the consumer. Pull the other leg, Howard.
