6. If you "truly believe" easily and voluminously refuted nonsense, I cannot help you.

Check the definition of tariff in any standard dictionary. It is very clear what a tariff is, it is a specific thing not some vague catchall term.

Check how tariffs worked (as in, who paid them and in what manner) the last time The Convicted Felon was POTUS. That information is publicly available. There you have recent historical evidence of the exact phenomenon in question.

If you won't "truly believe" the above evidence in favor of the mouth noises of TCF, there is nothing anyone else can say to stop you from destroying yourself.
