If you're looking for tariff relief, don't

It's not every day that the thieves come right out and tell you the money they stole from you ain't coming back.

Bessent: I got a feeling the American people won't see the $175 billion in tariff revenue we collected

End snips.

So, they already spent it on concentration camps, 🧊 Barbie blankies and planes, white house demolition derbies, Epstein retraction teams, etc. Or maybe it's in a bank in Dubai with the Argetinian oil money. Or maybe it's in the Peace Bureau slushfund. Or maybe they used all of it to short the SCrOTUS decision on tariffs.

That is the Commerce Secretary telling you we won't get the money back they stole from us.

And the 🍊 💩 monster will keep those tariffs in place and add 10% more for 150 days at least. Prices are gonna go higher.

Treasury needs audited and held accountable for the distribution of supposed $$$. Any money that was collected went into Trump’s pockets.
