Great look at Tariffman's tariff tantrums impact on Michigan farmers and their exports. An 89% drop during the first part of the year.

Wheat markets that didn't want our wheat.

Oof indeed. Remember that his people told the Supremes that the tariffs weren't a tax AND weren't designed to generate revenue.

He can't help but talk about "making money" and ironically, he's now bringing up stuff now that I brought up months ago regarding frontloaded inventory. Except if his tariff plan leads to the U.S. manufacturing he promised it would then it would gut that revenue.

Tariffman is late to his own party and still lying through his teeth

President Donald J. Trump on Truth Social:

Despite the massive amount of money being made by the United States of America, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, as a direct result of Tariffs being charged to other countries, the full benefit of the Tariffs has not yet been calculated in that many of the buyers of goods and products, in order to avoid paying the Tariffs in the short term, “STOCK UP” by purchasing far more inventory than they can use in order to avoid Tariff payments in the short term. That heavy inventory purchase is now, however, wearing thin, and soon Tariffs will be paid on everything they apply to, without avoidance, and the amounts payable to the USA will SKYROCKET, over and above the already historic levels of dollars received. These payments will be RECORD SETTING, and put our Nation on a new and unprecedented course. We are already the “hottest” Country anywhere in the World, but this Tariff POWER will bring America National Security and Wealth the likes of which has never been seen before. Those opposing us are serving hostile foreign interests that are not aligned with the success, safety and prosperity of the USA. They couldn’t care less about us. I look so much forward to the United States Supreme Court’s decision on this urgent and time sensitive matter so that we can continue, in an uninterrupted manner to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President
Raise your hand if you still believe trump will be sending $2000 "tariff rebate checks" to the American people

In the above passage Trump is gloating about how he’s raised taxes on American citizens. “RECORD SETTING” amounts of taxes.

Again Trump is taxing the American people and picking winners and losers amongst the businesses of America. Some businesses are protected but most are dealing with higher prices and lower income.

Bam, your answer can be found in the prior 87 pages.

Involves the use of generic tariffs as a blunt cudgel... which other countries aren't doing and we weren't doing. Mix in some protectionism and think about the rates, and why has free trade agreements. I'm confident you won't do the reading, but godspeed nonetheless
