What?
These 2 tweets are NOT at odds with one another, what the fuck?
In the first he is poking fun at Trumps misunderstanding of Tariffs, who pays them, and their purpose.
In the second tweet he says he is using Tariffs to protect our countries interests in those industries.
He doesn't imply who pays them.... can you read? Do you understand what you're looking at?
He is implying that putting a 100% tarrif on cheap dogshit EV's made with near literal slave labor negates China's unfair advantage. Not to mention the Chinese stole the fuck out of the IP required to make them.
Do you like our intellectual property being stolen from us, manufactured via worker exploitation, and then sold back to us on the cheap? If not, you shouldn't be against this shit.
Fuck man.
You've invented a completely new reality (none of this is stated in the tweet) while claiming the same of the original post.
Lol "our intellectual property"? Its not yours and never will be. Enjoy slobbering that capitalist knob
