“If our furniture factory could afford 25% more expensive steel, they would already have been buying US steel and aluminum. “

The increase is only on imports!

This kind of lying is just pathetic.

Look, I don’t mind if you don’t understand economics... that’s between you and God...

But don’t accuse me of lying.

That’s all free traitors do is lie and use bully tactics.

Umm, the whole point of a tariff is to increase the price of an import so that the higher-priced US good will be purchased instead. The buyer still is forced to pay the higher (US) price... and pass the increase on to the consumer.
