"White House: Tariff price hikes are possible, but so is a meteor strike"

That makes no sense, #POTUS. We all know that China pays the tariffs, so why would prices be hiked for Americans? China! Meteors! Bears! Battlestar Galactica!

You idiot. The US is always OK in the long term (at least for the past 100 years). The near term is what results in unnecessary American deaths and misersy.

Hey @cnn.com, check your definitions. You cannot "deport" a US-citizen. Where do you deport them to? Back to the US?

"Deporting" a US-citizen is legally classified as illegal expulsion. In CIA terms, during combat and clandestine operations, it's also "rendition."

Wow, it took a formal report to conclude this. Did not a single policy-maker (including the Artist of the Art of the Deal) take Business 101?

American Consumers will pay every single dollar of the tariffs. And, if tariffs go away, prices will not come down.
