Maybe you should learn how VAT work? If you actually know better then all the economists, explain in detail how VAT is like a tariff instead of repeating this trite lie?

The world wouldn't care if he introduced a federal 10% sales tax (provided it was implemented similar to VAT, ie. non-protectionistic)




> repeating this trite lie

The WH repeats this lie constantly. Anytime they get pushed on the absurdity of tariffs they mention VAT like it's in anyway related. The right wing outlets then amplify and we further dumb down America.
