He's always said that tariffs are paid by the exporting country to the importing country. He's wrong of course, but at least he's consistent.

    It’s not wrong, it’s a lie. He does absolutely know how tariffs work, but he also knows that most Americans don’t, I can promise you, if you ask a dozen random strangers who pays the tariffs, you will end up hearing the presidents words.
