Original Note:
Missing context: earlier in this exchange, WH Press Secretary Leavitt claimed "Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries" & "a tax cut on the American people," which is incorrect. https://x.com/Acyn/status/1899518327258763372 Tariffs are paid by importers who then pass along almost all of the cost to the consumer. https://taxfoundation.org/blog/who-pays-tariffs/ https://taxpolicycenter.org/fiscal-facts/how-do-tariffs-work https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-economics-051420-110410
