    In other words, Brandon has no fucking idea what “tariff” means, except it must be good cuz Daddy says so.

      I wish the US media would call tariffs “import taxes”, as that terminology seems to be generally better understood by the public.

        Yesterday I type “what” into my search engine and within the top 5 was “what is a tariff”. Import tax would make too much sense and people wouldn’t stand behind it if it was referred to as such.

        I get that tariff is the correct word and I understand what they are, but I am sure people like my dipshit cousins had no clue until a few days ago.
