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.

That’s like the “gold card” for rich immigrants — where does that go. He talks like it’s all going to his bank!

One interpretation is that he’ll use this to cancel income tax. So rich people will get very very very much richer. He’s replacing progressive taxation with regressive taxation that will mostly be paid by the middle class. It’s an upward wealth redistribution scheme. So “we” is him and his billionaire buddies. You should be scared of that “sovereign wealth fund”, too, since that sounds like a personal slush fund for Trump. If he puts all the tariffs paid by importers in there, he could mean “we will be so rich” as “I will be so rich”.
