2. She said tariffs were a tax cut and everyone was jumping up

and down saying she was dumb. What if she was told tariffs will mean income tax is ended. That tariffs would replace income tax. The progressive taxation would be over. Rich a**holes have wanted this for a long time because they don't want to pay their fair share of taxes.

Trump has mentioned ending them twice: once during the campaign, once after the election. In the Wednesday tariff presentation he mentioned how stupid it was for income tax to be implemented in 1913 and would not even mention Teddy Roosevelt's name. He did the same speil on income taxes being awful in his Oval Office presser with Netanyahu.

So was Karoline Leavitt stupid when she said tariffs were a tax cut..... you be the judge.
