Was he actually thinking that those $450 were just gifted by the exporter?

    At first you think he may just be naive of how tarrifs work. Which is still true, but it doesn’t explicitly label him as maga.

    Then he says this…

    How does this benefit me?

    And there it is. The selfish attitude that tells me he voted for this exact outcome without a clue what that outcome actually was. Just voted for his team, and didn’t bother with the details. Oh well. Have the day you voted for.

      Not only that but imagine if he was right and the seller paid the tariff, does he honestly think they would just eat the loss?
