This is complete bullshit.  American consumers are the ones who paid the tariffs.

Some coffee importer here in the US got hit with an import tariff (which they passed on to the consumer by raising the price of coffee).  It didn't cost them anything, yet they get the refund?  That ain't right.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Jim Jones was a socialist Democrat.

Yeah well ordered by the same SCOTUS that lets any kid whose mom could get the bump across the line before it popped the chute be a citizen, too.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This is true... headlines act like this is Trump's fault, it really isn't, it was ordered by the SCOTUS. Still sucks though... wtf?
