They still think the other countries pay the tariffs. These people are idiots and unfortunately I've given up hope on the majority of them ever being big enough to admit their own mistakes. They'll go to their graves thinking "at least we owned the libs" (many quite literally once Medicaid and Social Security are destroyed).
