Trump Thinks China Pays Tariffs

A video circulating on social media has exposed President Donald Trump’s shaky grasp of tariffs, raising alarms about his economic policies. Originally posted by The Independent captures Trump in an interesting exchange where he demonstrates he has no clue how tariffs work. A reporter says, “On tariffs you just said we charge them… as in we charge China, but the tariffs are eventually paid for by importers and consumers.” Trump fires back, “No they are not. I think they are paid for by the country.”
