Ever?

In 2019: "Because of that, you’re not paying for those tariffs. China’s paying for those tariffs,” the president said, hours after announcing the new set of tariffs on Chinese goods. “Until such time as there is a deal, we will be taxing the hell out of China.”" - https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-slaps-10-perc...

In 2024 - "I am going to put tariffs on other countries coming into our country, and that has nothing to do with taxes to us. That is a tax on another country." - https://x.com/acyn/status/1827139464906600538

I think “they will pay the tariffs” is an incorrect explanation of tariffs in the sense that it’s exactly the opposite of how tariffs work.

We have always had tariffs. Who is making the argument they are always bad?
