How is it a tourist tax if it is paid by American consumers?
Trump is "trying" something that has been tried and failed many times in the past. Tariffs are taxes that protect a chosen few at the expense of the American public.
And he is trying to fix something that ain't broke. He has an irrational fixation about America losing manufacturing jobs and thinks that his tariffs will bring them back. He is totally blind to the reality that most lost manufacturing jobs were due to increased productivity and automation.
