It just means an import tax for f*reigners, not for Am*rican farmers exporting outside of the US, right? Why do they assume this??? :marseythinkorino:

He said tariffs on external products aka products from external to the US right? :marseyretard2:

No, he's saying export tariffs. That's why he emphasizes that products will now "be sold INSIDE of the United States." They're an actual thing forbidden by the Constitution ("No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State").

The tariffs are almost certainly import tariffs and he's just too braindead to be consistent.

This regards state to state commerce, not country to country. US states are not allowed to tariff other states

It's under Article I: The Legislative Branch - Section 9: Powers Denied Congress

So my guess is that it's actually talking about Congress's powers here.

What you're thinking of is Section 10: Powers Denied States, which has a similar clause forbidding states from imposing any sort of tariffs on their own:

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

You said this:

>They're an actual thing forbidden by the Constitution ("No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State").

It's only forbidden for states to impose tariffs on commerce with other states. The US has used export tariffs many times… there were export tariffs on oil until like 2015, and some still exist for lumber

Am I not being clear?

Article I Legislative Branch

Section 9 Powers Denied Congress

Clause 5 Exports

No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.

Legislative Branch and Congress are parts of the Federal Government, not the states, whose rights are limited under the section called "Powers Denied States" (durr). This has been interpreted as such by the Supreme Court again and again, read here.

I can't find anything about oil export tariffs from the US. Insert SOURCE?! copypasta here.

I thought he was saying like since we have import tariffs now you won't HAVE to export your stuff anymore you can sell it INSIDE the US because you don't have the evil outside competition anymore and this is great for our country (for some reason)

That's definitely what he means, I don't know how so many people are not getting it.

Like, it's r-slurred logic, but it's not hard to follow.

Willful misinterpretation. There's no way to interpret, "tariffs on external products" as export tariffs unless you're either r-slurred or disingenuous. Guess which the groomercord strags in this thread are being.

That might be what he means. Or he means the Canadian retaliatory tariffs starting Tuesday.

But the most straightforward interpretation is that he's talking about export tariffs. But I agree he's probably just being incoherent.

The entire point of tariffs, other than the tax revenue, is to stimulate domestic production. Now you know this try rereading the post.

He's been framing his entire tariff plan as a revenue strategy.

Are you not aware that export tariffs are a thing that exists, to the point that the Constitution explicitly bans them? On its face he's saying that he wants product to be sold inside the United States instead of elsewhere, which is what export tariffs (not import tariffs, which deal with imports) would do. I didn't write the Tweet (or whatever they call it on his dead Twitter clone), I already agreed he's probably just not writing coherently, because nobody in the government has the authority to pass export tariffs without a constitutional amendment. Not that that wouldn't stop him from trying, but I doubt that's what he means here.

So far all countries have said they'll retaliate and then 5 minutes later apologized and did nothing.

Nice try though bb.

They didn't retaliate because Trump didn't put the tariffs in place on Canada and Mexico. As soon as he actually implements any there will be retaliations

Yes, as of today.

China has since vowed to fight the US "to the bitter end" and announced counter measures - which include up to 15% tariffs on a range of American agricultural and food products

Canada retaliates with immediate 25% tariffs against $30bn worth of US goods, with an additional $125bn worth of products to be hit over the next 21 days

Looks like he's pretty clearly saying export tariffs (which are paid by producers when exporting), but given his mental state he might have misinterpreted what his handlers are saying.
