Their own projections are claiming $195 billion in tariff revenues for '25..Again, these are their numbers so I'm not saying they're true.
$195 billion divided by 340 million people is $560.
Besides, these tariffs were supposed to pay down national debt. Now, they give away more money than they're taking in?
This is not merely an empty promise. It's a lie cut from whole cloth.
