Original Note:
This claim is false. Tariffs are taxes paid by American businesses/consumers, not foreign governments. Under Trump, tariffs hurt farmers, raised prices, and added little to federal revenue (1.1% 2019). The idea that tariffs could replace income taxes is economically impossible. https://apnews.com/article/economy-import-tariff-fce31b5c5c9f058ff09353c6846b1cf9
