Pete Buttigieg on Trump’s tariffs: Political gamesmanship coming down on your backs

When asked about President Trump’s tariffs impacting agriculture in the United States, Buttigieg says, “"What we're seeing right now is politically motivated

gamesmanship and it's coming down on your back ... A tariff is a tax. If you ever believe Republicans don't raise taxes, that's what they're doing right now."

Washington state loves PETE BUTTIGIEG....BUDDY YOU GOT MY VOTE

It's the lipstick on a pig you can call what you want it's still raining taxes. Scary thing I vote Dem more often than rep but Biden states reversing businesse tax so add that to tariffs pretty soon we are similar to communist gov with 75% businesses paying gov plus state tax

That's Trump for you: lies, lies and more lies. That's all he does. He only cares about himself no one and nothing else matters to him.

Vote in 2020 to Stop Con Artist Trump & Republicans From Destroying America Even More!

By the election tarrifs will be gone, they would have done what was needed.

Pay now or pay for illegals forever, you choose

We have more illegals crossing in a month than the population of South Bend, Indiana!

Not playing this game with Pete. Republicans didn't initiate the tariffs, Trump did and can without congress. You have no answer to correcting Chinas theft or Mexico's failure to handle it's immigration problem. But you're very good at firing a Black officer.

At most it's a consumer tax. You don't pay it unless you buy something that is under tariff.

I get to keep over $5400 of my own money due to tax relief so let’s say you’re right... 5400 minus 800 = 4600. Looks like I’m still good. 👍🏼

So where is your data to back that up

Thank you for the the town hall meeting- Cris Matthew and mayor Pete. The best I’ve seen so far.

Trump vs. Buttigieg on the economy, tariffs, taxes... Not even a contest.

Yes but they’re doing it ON MEXICO IDIOT

Actually, we won’t, because we will simply buy things elsewhere, or not at all. You assume buyers will keep buying at the same rates as before tariffs, proving you are not an economics whizz. Most goods from China and Mexico are non-essentials. Nobody has to have multiples.

Prove it, HOW? Cause you say so. Inflation still below 2% . Stay in your lane

It’s a good warmup for the major tax increases we will see when the next Socialist Democrat is President. With all the free stuff that will be given out we should hit 50 to 60% income tax.

Democrats live to raise taxes gives worse service for the ppl Rios our laws apart. Loves to take everyone’s money & control the ppl thinking we r in kindergarten

And you’re supposed to be the smart one?

Big deal. Many on the government dine already.

MayorButtigieg USA Citizens pay $200 billion per year for ILLEGALS welfare & healthcare. We lose $150 billion per year on $$ ILLEGALS wire out of the USA untaxed. 27% of USA jails are ILLEGALS. 60,000 CITIZENS were killed by ILLEGALS since 2000. SECURE BORDER COSTS? WALKAWAY

Kamala already told us this the Trump Tariff Tax!!! But y'all can fawn over the white man saying it.

I think we should pay far, FAR more in tariffs. Those people working in the 3rd world sweatshops that make the cheap goods deserve to earn living wages!! If you think otherwise, you are just a racist toward those countries.

And we're back where we started, 'No Taxation without Representation'. tRump is initiating all these tariffs on his own, similar to King George. And we have zero pushback in Congress. Is it time for our next revolution. impeachment

They sure as Heck are! Their idiot minions however get on National TV all weekend and try to convince us otherwise! Do they really think that the majority of America is that obtuse?

Democrats support illegal immigrants before Americans, they refuse to build the wall, but Mr. Trump knows how to make deals, It looks like Mexico is going to pay for the illegal immigrant!

U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods are taxes paid by Americans. China does not pay the tariff.

Pete's response to China stealing our technology and copy rights would be to bend over and present ass.

It's a tax on imports, dumba**. If you know that buyers raise prices on products from Mexico and China, don't buy them. By the way, buyers need not pass the tariffs on as higher prices. They can inform Mexico's sellers they will return their funds less tariffs.

That’s exactly what they cost me: $800.

A Tariff is not a tax Pete. Because you do not have to buy the products that have tariffs on them. With a tax Pete, the Govt takes the Tax $$ before you get your paycheck. Pete, you need to go to school some more.

Buy more American made goods and the problem is solved! Duh

BS!!!!

Yes, but this is the GOPs favorite kind of tax because it is primarily paid by the poor and middle class.

Tariffs are designed to sway a company into paying less for their product. Not raising prices. When Mexico has rotting fruit and vegetables they will lower their prices to get their sales. Mayor buttplug does not know how they work. Neither do most people.

What a sad, strange little man.

This is nowhere close to being accurate.

I'll pay it if it means all made in America

A billionaire international businessman verses a nice talking to us about economics. Pete needs to open a shop and practice how businesses works.

For those lacking intellect & sense of reality, not fake news, it's basic economics. The economics the president failed, bankrupting multiple times, king of debt, running all but his bailed out enterprises into insolvency. Tariffs are taxes on corps or people & it's US who pay.

What a great town hall...Pete was great...no surprise there.

So tells us PeteButtigieg; should the U.S. just continue paying tariffs to China and other countries that've been overcharging the U.S. for years? Why can't the U.S. raise tariffs on those countries that've been gouging us for decades? Turn about is fair play.

He is funny ! No clue !

Why hasn’t anyone asked him about how he will visit certain countries as president if there are certain laws in place .....

Money well spent if it prevents more illegals, with diseases and/or terrorists, cross the border.

Where is Donald?

How sweet

MSNBC has become the Little Pete Channel. It’s embarrassing. Very reminiscent of the free 24/7 coverage they gave Donnie trump.

Space Force is about to invade Uranus

You mean $15.00 a week or $ 2.00 a day?

Tell it Pete!

Seriously? 'raise taxes?' I did not know the tarriffs were permanent. I have to go back and look at that. Is that all you got? Really?

Trump 2020. I'm gonna try again to get you ball bags off my Twitter

Trump tax increase

I don't eat avocados do I'm safe

Perspective | Why Trump keeps promoting tariffs — even as they hurt his basePerspective: Why Trump keeps promoting tariffs — even as they hurt his base 1. Want fair trade. Not free trade because free trade is for suckers. Study history since end of World War 2. Trump cares about what is best for his businesses and businesses of people he cares about. I for one am o.k. With it...short term pain for long term gain. Seems like it will work out fine for everybody. Nobody said it would be painless. But it all makes sense. putinsplan
