It’s very strange to see Trump & MAGA supporters bragging about the billions of dollars raised by higher tariffs when 100% are paid by US companies & now customers. Not one penny has been paid by foreign countries. This is a tax on Americans. Period.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just mentioned something you won't hear in the mainstream news media. The Treasury reported the first June budget SURPLUS since 2017 of $26 billion, and is largely attributed to a surge in tariff revenue. Incredible🔥🔥
