So you impose the tariff in mexico where they would get the fee, and also the increase in price would be passed on to the US consumer. the nerve and stupidity of thinking you can tell another nation what to do and in a way that doesnt help anyone, it just increases cost all around bloomberg.com/news/articles/20 #MAGAnomics

@toussaint to be fair, first yes it is stupid, but you're missing the factor that is behind it.

Trump supporters stupidly think that imposing tariffs mean that more jobs will be created in the US instead. They think they will get jobs out of this, but right, that's not how this will really work.

But I can see what they're thinking.
