Donald Trump on Tuesday told CNBC that he will gratefully “remember” U.S. companies that do not seek refunds for the tariffs he unilaterally imposed, which the Supreme Court later ruled were illegal.
Trump’s comment on “Squawk Box” came a day after U.S. Customs and Border Protection opened a portal for importers to seek more than $160 billion in potential refunds for the so-called IEEPA tariffs.
He was asked about a number of large companies, among them Apple and Amazon, that have not filed requests for refunds for the tariffs they paid, potentially because they are worried about “offending” Trump.
Fuck that! We remember what you said and continue to say about Canada ,you entitled, dirtbag shit stain. The level of arrogance makes me want to puke. Pay it all back you cunt!!!
He doesn’t even remember how to control any of his sphincters
So after forcing these companies to pay the tariffs, then after being forced to refund the companies because his tariffs were deemed illegal, he will now be annoyed by companies that don’t choose to be refunded for the tariffs they paid.
I think he means remembering them in a positive way, as in theyre on his good side now. Which is bs of course.
He can’t remember the start of the sentence he’s actively speaking, his memory will play no structural role in any of his future retaliations.
He can’t even remember all the children he raped.
To be fair that’s a lot to remember.
Neither can his would-be prosecutors.
Lutniks sons planned this and are likely getting hundreds of millions in refunds.
Oh I do actually believe he really will remember them. For several seconds, possibly even over 15 seconds!
The tariffs WE PAID. Those fucking companies jacked up prices to cover them. Now our tax money is going to pay them again.
Taxes this year were brutal. Fucking. Goddamn. Brutal.
Trump is suing our own government to steal these. He’s doing it right now. He’s a fucking traitor.
I think I’m with the companies here, which feels weird to say. The Trump admin imposed these ridiculous tariffs, which the companies had to pay. Makes no sense for them to lose money on the products they sell, so of course they raised prices, which we all said they would have to when the tariffs were imposed. Meanwhile, the administration pocketed the money. Then the tariffs were ruled to have been illegal.
So yes, I want the companies to go after the money that the administration illegally bilked them (and, indirectly, us) out of. I hope they figure out ways to pass the recovered money back to customers; Costco has said it will use the money to lower prices. But it’s actually more important to me that the administration not get away with the illegal tariffs.
Product sells for $10. After tariffs of $2 it sells for $14.
You pay $2 tariff and $2 convenient price hike. Company makes $2 for hiking price more than value of tariff.
Company requests refund for $2, company made $4 total.
You paid $4 extra total, which the company made. It’s a completely standard transaction, money from your packet to company’s. And more tax money will be wasted for the costs of processing the refunds.
Company brings price down to $12, you’re still overpaying, and are you necessarily buying that product again?
I’m sure some companies did that, but do you have data suggesting that was a widespread practice? Because what I read was that lots and lots of companies tried to stock up on materials before the tariffs went into effect, so they wouldn’t have to raise prices, and then many just ate the extra cost for a while - hoping the tariffs would be short lived - because they knew they would lose customers, before ultimately raising prices to cover. Many companies did lose money on the deal, according to what was reported.
But I’ll read whatever you have from a reputable source.
And then, they’re keeping those prices high.
Yeah, there’s no chance they now lower prices and collect less profit. That’s what we should remember…
Stop buying shit from these companies
American Presidency being run like the mafia.
Corporations who aren’t going to want to get their free money back? Trump really is a fucking idiot.
As if they don’t already know that he’s mainly known for screwing other people over. And he’s trying to do it again.
Will he though.
According to his tests, he can only remember four words.
But on the cognitive test he took he THOUGHT it was an IQ test.
He failed BOTH tests at the same time.
That’s hilarious
I’ll be here all week. Try the buffet.
That’s unfair… he clearly remembered person, woman, man, camera and tv that one time.
Or was he just naming the things that happened to to be in front of him?
Must rape kids is only 4 though
“Kids” is plural
True that, get your money and then just tell him you didn’t.
Play those odds, he’s old anyways.
Put it on the prediction market and see if he bets on it.
Isn’t that a threat a mob boss in the movies would say?
He has 4 modes: mob boss cliche, bigotted old asshole, self aggrandizing liar, and demented confused fool. They are not all distinct and he does like to mix and match. But they are all equally pathetic.
Can’t wait until he’s in his OFF mode.
There is a fifth mode: smitten with someone who put him in his place. Xi, Putin, hell even Mamdani
That’s just the cross between the self aggrandizing liar and the demented confused fool. Tell him he’s great and he’ll do whatever you want because he’s a narcissist and an idiot, so he completely believes them
I wake up every day hoping for good news… You know the news I mean… Every fucking day.
Too bad he didn’t have a stroke while the neighborhood was blocked with cars due to filming.
Mean I hate wishing ill will on anyone but there’s a few exceptions that I think is morally fine as long as I don’t take any action and just wish really hard. Like many people that pray.
Few people have erroded our social norms like that douche. While I thought they were stuffy before it’s like he dropped his pants and took a shit at the table before his first bite then calls you crazy for being offended.
Want good news?
Every single day we get a day closer to when Trump dies
Cause there will be so few.
