What to know about the Trump Tariff Tax, REVISED

Tolumnia imported from Thailand

 

                    The current threat of the Trump Tariff Tax for Thailand is 36%.

                    I was too conservative suggesting that 25% would be crippling.  If the Trump Tariff Tax on Thailand plants becomes 36%, it will end trade and make an enemy of Thailand, a friend during the Vietnam War.


                    My hypothetical order of $6,000 would have to pay $2,160 for the Trump Tariff Tax.

                    No more Orchids.

What to know about Trump Tariff Tax, Part II

Tolumnia imported from Thailand



             If Trump demands a Trump Tariff Tax of 25% on items imported from Thailand, then the buyer must pay that unnecessary fee. 


              A shipment of $6,000 must pay $1,500 import charge for the Trump Tariff Tax.


              If the Trump goal is to force me to buy these Orchids in the United States, that idea will fail.

    

              These Orchids will never be grown here because the high cost will prevent them from ever being sold.


            Tariffs always work.  They raise prices unnecessarily and reduce the growth rate of the economy and my small business.


            Tariffs stifle free enterprise and cripple my small business.  Very Un-American.
