It is a profound example of how stupid people are that this was even a question.
Dictionaries have existed for millennia. Google is free. We have access to the full library of the collective knowledge of the human race on a magic rock in our pockets. And something this simple was a national debate.

Common American mistake, confusing abuse for an argument.

It was more of an educated vs uneducated discussion.
I guess some Americans learned they were lied to, but they probably won't believe it anyways..

It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

There was never any argument, there was the indisputable fact that that's how it is, and then there was lying Trump MAGA propaganda denying the facts.

The “argument” was that the idiots who enacted the tariffs without understanding what tariffs are were trying to push the blame anywhere else, and pretty much everyone has clocked their bullshit

Trump Tax.
spread it, use it, never stop using it.
"Whelp! Paid $30 more, damn Trump tax, right?"
-
What argument?
-
Donald Trump was wrong. Donald Trump is wrong. He does not understand tariffs or trade economies at all. He is all brazen bluster while being sneaky about other things.

THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF TARIFFS!!!! JFC. The fantasy is that if we pay more for imported goods domestic goods will become more competitive. If prices don't go up we aren't incentivized to change our buying habits. Is this not fucking obvious?

The argument is over
What argument?
-

I wasn't aware there was an argument.
In the same way a parent argues with a child over whether ice cream is healthy or not.
Really?
I mean kids know ice cream is bad for them, at some level. But arguing who pays tariffs is like arguing whether water is wet. That's what tariffs are, by definitions. Anybody who thinks China or whoever will pay tariffs in their place doesn't know what tariffs are.
That's why it boggles the mind that Trump keeps - or at least kept - saying other countries would pay his tariffs and nobody ever corrected him: all it takes is opening a dictionary at TARIFF to know he's full of shit.
There never was. Just weaponized ignorance or pure lies.
It's the same argument I have at the store when I try and make the store pay sales tax. "Well, it saaaaaid $9.99 and I only have $10.00 on me."
Have you tried what civilized countries do? Like putting prices including all taxes on the price tags?
People from New Hampshire when they go anywhere else
The tariff speculation has despeculated.
