"Trump may not understand how tariffs really work; "

Trump appears to understand exactly what Alexander Hamilton did when he proposed tariffs, and what the First Congress did when they passed the bill, and which President Washington understood when he signed it.

The Tariff Act of 1789, was the first major Act passed in the United States under its present Constitution of 1789 and had two purposes as stated in Section I of the Act which reads as follows;

"Whereas it is necessary for that support of government, for the discharge of the debts of the United States, and the encouragement and protection of manufactures, that duties be laid on goods, wares and merchandise.

Kevin McCarthy is a traitorous Ryan Republican. He needs to be primaried.
