Of course Trump lies about how tariffs do work. Trump was rambling in a very incoherent manner when questioned about childcare, then going in a tangent how he is going to pay for it by imposing tariffs on foreign goods. He blatantly lied that taxpayers will not be paying for it. Obviously, he cannot comprehend that at the end of the day the taxpayers have to pay for these tariffs, as this is how the sellers have to recover the cost associated with the tariffs!!
The problem is his base aren't bright enough to understand even the basics, that consumers pay those tariffs, not the manufacturers or country of origin.
The childcare rambling was pretty epic.

The debate tonight should be fun, wonder what the odds are that another candidate is toast afterwards.

The hypocrisy are with his Canadian adorers and butt kissers. Remember that he was not imposing tariffs only on China. But Canada was no different than China in this respect according to Trump. The whole idea was to wreck the Canadian economy at the expense of his own ego and he did it to Canada as well. This is what we were concerned about and did not give a heck about him imposing it on China. Sure The Liberal Govt. was right to slam him for it. Look, even some of The Republicans condemned him for it:

Top Republicans slam Trump's anti-Canada tirade, metals tariffs
'I frankly commend Canada for its measured and sober response,' U.S. senator says


So, tell me whether it was right for him to impose these tariffs on Canada or was it wrong for him to do so? Let's hear the real hypocrisy!!
Why are you deflecting to Canada? Is that what you do when the truth about the topic at hand is too much for you to accept?

Trump's tariffs on China were criticized.
Biden kept those tariffs and added more...no criticism.
Trudeau added tariffs on China..no criticism.

Biden cancelled the XL pipeline and it negatively impacted Canada...no criticism.

See the hypocrisy trend?

Did you miss the point or are you avoiding it because you know you are wrong?

See you cannot even answer a question related to tariffs, and imposed against Canada. Of course it has to be a concern for our trade, and that is why Canada had to go tit for tat against Trump's tariffs!!
Trudeau just added the tariffs against EVs and related components, besides the steel and aluminium. This was because China was violating the trade regulations with its protectionism. That is why not only Canada, but the EU Nations and countries have also imposed these tariffs. Remember that the only EV brand that is currently affected by the Canadian tariffs is the Tesla that is manufactured in China. Now those tariffs imposed by Trump was not done in unison with The EU or Canada. In fact he slapped those tariffs on Canada and The EU. Who paid the price for those tariffs. Not China as Trump falsely claimed even in the debate with Harris, but The American people paid the price for it. You are the one deflecting with the XL pipeline. If it was in danger of contaminating the drinking water of those lands, then Biden had every right to cancel it. Of course we all hoped that he did not do so!!

So you don't think tariffs increase the price to consumers.
Of course they do as China will raise prices to compensate for the tariff. However that could lead to increased competition with the likes of India, Vietnam, the Philippines etc. which is a benefit to consumers in the end.
If the tariffs on China were not justified then why didn't the Obama/Harris administration eliminate them?

If China raises prices on products with tariffs they become even more expensive for US consumers and less likely they will buy them.

The point is that you proved you are the hypocrite and need to stop accusing others.
You don't understand how tariffs work either.

Says the guy who missed the point again. How about you just give up rather than flailing hopelessly?

Looks like most people don't want an election.

That's just one piece and it's barely a majority...the more important piece is this one:

" Despite not clamoring for an election, the same poll found Canadians remain sour on Trudeau and the Liberals. Just 28 per cent of those surveyed nationally said Trudeau deserves re-election, a figure that is consistent across all regions."
