A tariff is a TAX.

The company pays it — then passes along the cost as a price increase to YOU.

So Donald Trump is raising YOUR taxes 25%.

This is exactly the problem. You can’t take the “move fast and break things” mentality of Silicon Valley into the federal government, a place where if you break things, people die, or have their rights violated, or can’t access essential services. https://t.co/H3eTiEU1R2
