Scott is a blessing to Americans. 🇺🇸❤️🙏
Congress is a waste of taxpayer funds. The speaker of the house should be investigated.
Kate and William’s partnership feels real, not just royal.
Let's talk about what Russian people should do to deal with the insane, non-human, dictator that has only "his" egocentric goals in his mind. Putin is not an earthling nor a good Russian.
It is so dumb to say that if Trump had been president, the war would never had started! It´s not like Russia announced that they were going to attack Ukraine. They just did, and then it´s hard to make Putin stop as we all can see. But Trump also said that if he would become president, he would stop the war in one day. So there´s that…
He is so smart, he does not sound like a Democrat thats for sure
Besset is so smart
Putin is a psychopath killer
Europe is scared of Russia
The more tariff the government makes, the more American customers pay.
The following is from ChatGPT:
A tariff is a tax on imported goods.
The government collects the tariff, but it does not actually “pay” it.
The foreign seller doesn’t really pay either — they just raise their prices or export less.
The importing businesses and consumers (American buyers) end up paying the tariff, either directly (higher prices at the store) or indirectly (reduced choice, hidden costs in supply chains).
👉 In short:
“Tariffs are paid by domestic consumers and businesses in the form of higher prices — not by foreign governments or sellers.”
I SAW A YONG MAN WITH SCOTT DURING AN INTERVIEW. WAS THAT HIS SON?
How hilarious, these money comes from the people of America, the US government is squeezing its own people because they are broke
Thank you Scott B ❤❤❤❤❤
Where is all this money going?
Lol, $300b tax on American consumers. 😂
Threat without follow up is nothing… he needed to be tough on putin or he will just play along with trump.
TACO TRUMP ICE AGENTS ARREST TWO FIREFIGHTERS IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON FIGHTING FOREST FIRES. LET THE FIRE BURN
Straight forward regular talking voice with receipts.v❤❤❤
Miss and Trump may not be perfect, but they’re a hell of a lot better than what the hell was there in previous administration
Doesn't matter how much of our money they pull in!! It's already been blown like a room full of crackheads!! 😅😅
Credit Suisse is winding down its business after its own debacle with a Vix-linked ETN in 2018 — the iPath business might make a handy sacrificial lamb for the blue bird of British banking.
The money is being paid by the importers and passed on to the consumers. Enjoy your higher prices. this is what you voted for.
Never seen anyone so proud raising taxes on companies importing their inputs and American consumers.
Debt in trillions.
Ultimately, Americans care about food prices which are up as compared to 2024's food prices. When the Midterm Elections in 2026 happen, Americans don't care about the war in Russia and Ukraine, Americans don't care about the Epstein list or files. Americans will remember and only care about our food prices needing to drop to feed our American Senior Citizens and to feed all our American families ! Please, President Trump, respectfully, open your eyes. 🇺🇸
Buy only American !! 🇺🇸
Waiting for a definite update on the much needed Tariff Dividend Refund checks to tax filing Americans as of August, 2025 ?
Though Inflation is lower than Biden years, the price of groceries are way too expensive for Seniors on Social Security.
Hopefully the nosy, uh, reporters who don't even know that they're trying to leak information by trying to get a certain question, answered by our President, let our President do his business trust in the process. Peace is the best way to go. So far he's getting it done. And sometimes you have to apply a little bit of pressure
Trump cant tell everyone that the Ukraine is really responsible for this war. He also cant say that the Ukraine most likely blew up the American company and just blamed it on the Russians. Its irrelevant acctually. Its a war zone and anything there can get blown up.
If you drive the price of oil to low the oil companies will stack the rigs and the price goes back up …… all them oilfield workers got a raise … they work hard …. It is dangerous work and they ain’t taking a pay cut …. Figure it out
What about the bio labs?
The difference between you and I, is the fact that I have read "Animal Farm" and "1984" by George Orwell.
Trump is busy turning America in to a communist country. The government will have all of the money, and the people will have nothing, therefore the government will control the people.
But then I boast because you probably can't or wont read anything.
Enjoy your life "DUMB MURICAN's".
Fast forward to Thursday.
NOTHING HAPPENED. RUSSIA DIDN'T GIVE ANYTHING.
OUR MEDIA PUMPS THESE EVENTS UP LIKE WE DICTATE POLICY TO THE WORLD.
Doesn't work that way
Remember Americans pay the tariffs – if you don't think so, look at prices going up. And if they have all that money – what happened to that big DOGE reimbursement check ??
Please don’t spend it on democrats elections. Democrats should be declared a domestic terrorist group.
Could go much higher..still many countries without a trade deal done. Those countries are only hurting themselves delaying!!
I enjoy Maria’s work but if Fox could maybe move her microphone away from her slightly that would be great. We don’t need to be YELLED AT constantly!
Scott Bessent is simply amazing. What brilliance!
The tariffs are robbing us the American people not these countries stop misleading people ypur bragging about money that's coming out of our pockets and its gonna take trillions to pay off the debt this ridiculous stupid bill is gonna cost
We keep hearing the fraud in every direction of the government, WHEN WILL SOMEONE BE PUNISHED FOR ALL OF IT! 🙏🇺🇸❤️
Russia has banned the export of oil for the time being anyway. Since they lost two refineries, there isn’t enough gasoline to go around just for Russians to get to work. So sanctioning people will buy Russian oil is a complete non-issue at the moment.
