Hi Ron. I would like hear a discussion about where the tariff money is going. Trump keeps talking about how “we’re”going to be really really rich. When he talked about tariffs during the campaign, he talked about how it would pay off the debt in no time. Since being elected he’s only talked about how rich “we” are going to be. A very bright spotlight needs to be shined on where all this tariff money is going. Seems like it’s going to end up being a slush fund for his personal agenda items and acquisitions.

I chalk Trump babbling about " we're going to be so rich" to his con man persona. Trump has relied on Americans who desperately want to believe that one day they too will be rich and able to exploit tax loopholes.

It's a fantasy of course, but a seductive one for too many people.

Yes, it’s like all of the people who have no money that continue to buy lottery tickets cause they’re gonna win big this time. Always a scam on this watch.

I wrote weeks ago that it seems tariff monies end up in the US treasury and therefore can and will be pissed away on anything and everything that does not particularly help everyday Americans. You can rest assured. And when prices go up so do the sales taxes collected on our purchases that we pay to our home states. Only the rich will survive and that is how the Orange Man and his MAGA congress people want it to be. ____ Oh. you dumb fucks who thought your messiah was put on this earth to save you. So sad.

Yes. I have the same question. It would be "interesting" to hear the administration explain the route $$ would take once a tariffed product is sold to another country AND in the reverse, bought here. (Let's see just how many versions of mumbo jumbo & gaslighting do you think we'll hear?)

It certainly is NOT GOING TO HELP the average American when they now go shopping!! But then again Donny gets free food @ the WH, so he could care less.
