Let's get one thing straight about Motherfucker Krasnov's alleged win on tariffs with China [View all]

It's a reduction from 145% to 30% on nearly all goods imported from China, which means it's a 30% sales tax on all of those goods when the end user consumers buy them. So, in the simplest terms, your product that was $100 now costs $130.

And where do you think the money collected at the point of transfer goes?

Why, bless their fucking hearts, the billionaire tax cuts.

Anyone else here connecting the fucking dots?

Fuck you, Krasnov.
