Mate. I really can't find where I said that. Can you just point out where it's posted? You got me worried.
you will have him worried now trying to prove you did say it instead of the usual of him just making it up
 
You didn't he makes it up as he goes along.
I've looked and I can't see why he would think that He really does just make stuff up doesn't he. So far on the spectrum he fell off the end lol.

Thing is you can't say much to him, nosall, odds and a few others because they have the power to block you off the thread, which they often do....sad really.
 
Five out of the seven estimates Al Jazeera identified rank these new tariffs as the biggest tax increase since 1951, with the most conservative estimate ranking it as the largest since 1982.

However; The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), a conservative advocacy group, is challenging Trump’s tariffs in a US federal court, where it is arguing the president has overstepped his legal authority. Trump has pushed his tariffs with lightning speed by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, but the group contends that he is misusing the statute. The “statute authorises specific emergency actions like imposing sanctions or freezing assets to protect the United States from foreign threats. It does not authorise the president to impose tariffs”, the group said in a statement.

The 'Executive Order" has been abused long enough, as Trump uses it to extend his presidential powers beyond their limit into autocracy at best; dictatorship at worst. This legal case echoes anti-tariff arguments made by several other prominent Republicans, including Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul. When arch-conservatives like McConnell and Rand argue against this policy it's time for the GoP to sit up and pay attention. If this trade-war has a similar affect to the Volker Shock of the early 80s then the MAGA mob will have their devotion tested to the limit by the Orange Oaf they elected into office.

Trump is boasting that tarrifs are already bringing in 2 billion dollars a day.
So his idea to get the American consumer to pay a tax in order to pay for tax cuts seems to be going well, even if it doesn't make any sense.
Trump either has an idea that is so ingenious that it is beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals or else he is just a flecking ejit.
Time will tell.
