I think the Trump family should pay the tariffs. They have certainly made bank off of all of us.

Exactly and how is the wall Mexico is building

Mexico has a wall of soldiers at their border.

Plus Trump on Hannity in 2016, he went into detail and said he didn't mean that Mexico sends a check, that would be humiliating.
He suggested remittances as a possible payment.

Which never happened!

I actually like his response. Why shouldn't billionaire corporations eat the increases instead of passing them on to consumers? Why are corporate profits sacrosanct?

Because they will get sued by their shareholders.

Do you think Trump voluntarily foregoes profit for the good of the country?

The right answer is never to have blanket tariffs, only ones to protect specific, emerging industries.

Are you totally blind to Trump’s grifting? Do you think he would ever sacrifice any profits for the sake of American citizens? Never.

What's the point of the tariffs then? A tax on business? That's going to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US?
