Trump Is Laughing In Your Face With His Tariff Lies

Every single American is paying the biggest tax increase on working families since the Great Depression — Trump’s tariffs. Local news is a constant stream of reporting on the financial pain tariffs are causing all over the country as they raise the prices Trump promised to lower on “Day One.”

But yesterday the White House highlighted one of their top economists, Council of Economic Advisers Chair Stephen Miran, claiming on Fox Business that there has been “no material macroeconomic impact” from tariffs.

Miran, who Trump just promoted, has multiple Freudian slips in the video, saying “consumers thus far have not seen any increase — any — sorry, any material macroeconomic increase from prices — sorry, from tariffs, at all.”

It’s not hard to see why Miran had trouble keeping a straight face.
