President Donald Trump told reporters that he would delay tariffs on Chinese electronics from September 1 to December 15 to ease the burden on American consumers ahead of the holiday season.

In announcing the change, Trump contradicted his long-held (incorrect) assertion that the financial burdens of tariffs fall on the country they're placed on, rather than American consumers.

Watch below:

Trump said:

"What we’ve done is we’ve delayed it so they won’t be relevant in the Christmas shopping season. Just in case they might have an impact on people.”

They would have an impact on people.

A tariff is essentially a tax on certain goods imported from other companies. In fact, it’s coming from the pocketbooks of American manufacturers, who compensate for the heightened import price by raising prices on American consumers.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that China is paying for the tariffs, casting doubt that he doesn't actually know how tariffs work.

People were left wondering, just who does Trump think is paying for the tariffs now?

Who even knows anymore?

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
