The fuck is "non-tariff cheating" supposed to mean?
Good question.
Nobody knows what it is, folks. People are asking, “What is it?”—nobody knows. Experts, politicians, the fake news—nobody has a clue. Maybe it’s something, maybe it’s nothing. Could be the biggest thing ever, could be nothing at all. Nobody knows, believe me. Total mystery.
Bigly if true
Some nonsense phrase they made up
I mean wouldn't it just be "ways to cheat tarrifs"
Like I guess they don't want to promote that but they could just say "ways to cheat tarrifs we will punish" to try to sound hard.
But this phrase just makes no sense.
As opposed to cheating as an insider trader who manipulates markets with yo-yo tariffs.
It's senile idiot for "I'm a senile idiot."
Don't know but it's extremely obvious that some of his posts are ghost-written (just like his book) and this is one of them.
It means any attempt to not suffer
I believe he's trying to say "here's other examples of CHEATING other countries do to us that are unrelated to tariffs". Who knows.
I think he's saying things other than tariffs that affect how many dollars the US could make selling shit to your country.
Thing is, the list doesn't make sense. Yeah most countries have VAT. 1) So does the US, it's called sales tax. 2) I pay VAT equally on American, Estonian or German goods. What's the problem?
The problem is that he is a fascist and fascists always need an external enemy to blame.
Oh, that makes sense.
My hard drives cost 20% more. IDK what he's on about "cheating".
