By analyzing $4 trillion of shipments between January 2024 and November 2025, the Kiel Institute researchers found that foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% of the burden of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering their prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.

Duh
Thank you captain obvious. Why do we have to do studies into things everyone already knows, when Trump doesn’t understand something and spreads bullshit? We know what tariffs are. Looking up the meaning of the word in a thesaurus I wouldn’t call “research”.
If those poor Americans could think, they would be very upset.
Thank god they can’t. Imagine they do something right accidentally for once.
I’m amazed that they put scientists on this. A toddler could see these results coming. Well at least a European toddler. American toddlers are probably eating crayons with their parents.
Having specific data and studies is very important.
we spent a lot of money to figure out that this water, do be wet

Trump to Europe today/yesterday: Let me take Greenland or I’ll tax my own population even harder!! Join my board of “peace” or my citizens are getting a tax increase! That will show you!
In other news, water is wet.
Good things money was spent studying… The definition of a tariff.
No shit Sherlock…
Thats the most pointless study ever.
Confirming what we assume is not useless.
A tarrif is a tax paid by the purchaser, theres nothing to assume. This study is pointless.
Actually it’s paid by the importer.
In other ‘news’, Sun to Rise in East Tomorrow, Pope Professes Catholicism, Bear Relieves Self in Wooded Area…
Film @ 11:00
I can see the Sun. I have no interest in the Pope. But where was that film of the bear having a shit? SHOW ME THE BEAR HAVING A SHIT, NOW!!
Also, did you know if an orange child rapist tries to distract everyone from the decades of child rape he did with his best mate Jeffery Epstein then most of the time it doesn’t work? Isn’t that weird…
That . . . is how tarriffs work, yes.
But the orange man told me the exporting country would pay!
I mean if there is enough room in the profit margin the producer could adjust the price to keep the cost the same.
I can’t imagine why they would given the the way the tariffs are applied though.
