When the Liar in Chief’s LIES get SO outrageous that even the clowns at FOX gag on them, and publish a rare bit of truth, hidden deep in the ‘opinion’ section, you know Dotard is really spewing some Whoppers, as in ‘who pays for his idiotic tariffs’.

Remember, this is directly from FOX ‘News?’....

Are the tariffs President Trump has imposed on imports from China a good move or a harmful one? That’s a debatable point. What’s not debatable is who will pay for these tariffs. To find out, just look in the mirror.
President Trump’s claim that China will pay for the tariffs is as valid as his claim during his election campaign that Mexico will pay for the wall he wants to build along our southern border.
Just as we will pay for the wall with our tax dollars, we will pay for the tariffs on Chinese imports when we go shopping for thousands of products made in China.

And, the federal government has doled out about $8 billion so far in aid to U.S. farmers (with a promised $28 billion), but where do you think that money is coming from? Yup, time to look in the mirror again, because the money going to farmers comes from the taxes you pay. We can add that to the cost.
Overall, the cost of these tariffs on the American people will be hundreds of billions of dollars and a whole lot of suffering along the way. The American people should be told the truth, so they can decide if they support the president’s policies, instead of being fed a diet of lies and half-truths.
