Potentially giving us back, the money they unethically taxed and took from us, is a win for Trump???

    1. It’s not going to be back to you, it’s going to go back to the corporations that have been brutalizing us for the last year.

    2. Why on earth would this money go back to the companies? They jacked up prices to cover the tariffs so they wouldn’t lose money. They didn’t Pa tariffs we did

    3. Giving “us” back? Hahaha, no friend. If refunds happen, the tariff charges that were passed on by companies to you, the consumer, will be refunded to the companies. You ain’t gettin back shit.

      Of course, he’s also totally destroyed America’s trading relations with untold numbers of countries but it’s still a huge win!

    5. Anyone thinking they will see a single dollar back should check their mailbox for their “fell for it again” award.

      I thought Trump was going to give everyone $2000. If you really want to kickstart the economy give the money to people who will actually spend it, mostly in their own communities.

      How do you think he is funding ice dhs operations and taking the money for himself. We paid for it

    8. They’re not giving “us” back the money. If anything they’ll refund the importers. None of us are getting a refund check from Walmart for the higher tariff-adjusted prices we already paid.

    9. I bet the keep the prices high even if they no longer have tariffs. Maybe this was the plan the whole time.

    10. Take from the taxpayers once by permanently raising prices, double dip and get even more.

      What is that thing they say about socialism? At some point you run out of other people’s money.

      Funny how “capitalism” gets a pass. Or whatever the fuck this is.

    11. We aren’t getting the money back. Most of us, the consumers, didnt pay the tarrifs. The companies that paid the importing would be the ones getting the money back. Even then with lowered costs they are unlikely to really lower prices back to what they were because we are now trained to expect the new price. They can reduce what has been a 30% price increase since 2024 to just a 25% price increase, say they are reducing pain on consumers, get the pr win, and pocket the increased profits

    12. They won’t give you back what you paid in higher prices

      They’ll give the companies that paid the 300b at the ports back their money.. maybe. lol they ain’t giving us shit be real

      I like the idea of giving it back to the states as a few governors are suggesting. They would be more responsible to see that the money goes back to those who paid the taxes…er…tariffs.

    14. Any tariffs that are returned (as if) will go to the corporations for the shareholders to pocket.

    15. It’s highly unlikely that the companies will pass any of that money back to the American consumer who actually paid for the tariffs. This would just end up being another win for the rich.

    16. The mental gymnastics of republicans and republican voters to make everything Trump does seem like a good thing should be an Olympic sport

      Another grift. Take the money from the people, give it back to corporations. Corporations then get it twice.
