Tariffs in general aren't inherently bad if they protect domestic interests, especially against a foreign power that is subsidizing production as part of an economic power play. If Trump had limited his tariffs to China and Russia not included all of our allies I would have agreed with him. If we didn't desperately need more EVs and if US automakers weren't such colossal assholes about making good cheap EVs I'd agree with this one

More like determined to try delaying the inevitable lol

I’m determined to ensure the higher prices pass to consumers, thereby making alternative energy more expensive and thus less in demand, thus raising demand for oil and gas

Is that what you meant Biden?

Wheres the tarrifs on things that are killing us, Joe? Where's the carbon tax?

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.
