Trump brags about raising your taxes

President Donald Trump painted a rosy picture of the trade war with China on Thursday, once again touting the large amount of tax revenue generated by his tariffs.

"The United States Treasury has taken in MANY billions of dollars from the Tariffs we are charging China and other countries that have not treated us fairly," Trump tweeted. "In the meantime we are doing well in various Trade Negotiations currently going on. At some point this had to be done!"

"A tariff is a tax on imported goods. Despite what the President says, it is almost always paid directly by the importer (usually a domestic firm), and never by the exporting country," Gleckman wrote. "Thus, if the US imposes a tariff on Chinese televisions, the duty is paid to the US Customs and Border Protection Service at the border by a US broker representing a US importer, say, Costco."

"A business will, if it can, pass its higher after-tax costs on to consumers," Gleckman wrote. "Thus, the price of Chinese TVs sold in the US may rise rapidly."
