trumps lies about his illegal tariffs
Today at 8:44am

which are his best lies, the first ones or the ones he added at the end?

Quote:

........... U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday rolled back tariffs on more than 200 food products, including such staples as coffee, beef, bananas and orange juice, in the face of growing angst among American consumers about the high cost of groceries.
The new exemptions - which took effect retroactively at midnight on Thursday - mark a sharp reversal for Trump, who has long insisted that the sweeping import duties he imposed earlier this year are not fueling inflation. ............

......... he would move forward with a $2,000 payment to lower- and middle-income Americans that would be funded by tariff revenues next year sometime. "The tariffs allow us to give a dividend if we want to do that. Now we're going to do a dividend and we're also reducing debt," he said.

you've always supported trump and his tariffs. Arguing they didn't cause inflation, instead of deflecting in your usual cowardly manner, how about you explain why you think he's reversed his decision on tariffs despite claiming they don't cause inflation? Or is all you are capable off is parroting 'TDS' every time someone comments on US policy or politicians?

I'm going to bet you run away again

Not at all, JS. We'll invite Leroy in by way of a question.

Leroy, do you support trade wars and nasty old tariffs against our friends?

How does this align with your views on open trade, liberal democracy and Freeeeeedom?

I do believe the open exchange of our deepest thoughts and feelings is the best way to bring us all together, don't you?

Thoughts?
