BREAKING: White House hits back, blames Trump for Afghanistan withdrawal chaos after Republicans release damning report targeting Biden. The administration says Trump struck a deal that released 5,000 Taliban fighters and "ordered a rushed exit by Christmas 2020, leaving Biden with a flawed deal that could only end America’s longest war."
John Kirdby says, “The Trump administration’s deal released 5,000 Taliban fighters—5,000 fighters—and now Republicans want to rewrite history?”
John Kirby says, “Partisan rancor is clouding the facts: Trump ordered a rushed exit by Christmas 2020, leaving Biden with a flawed deal that could only end America’s longest war.”
John Kirby says, “Republicans’ report ignores the brutal reality: The Afghan military collapsed, and Bagram Air Base wasn’t the magic solution they pretend it was.”
ABOUT TARIFFS...
Can I just explain how wrong Donald Trump sounds to those of us in the import business? He’s bullshitting you.
Here’s the truth: I work in imports, and Trump’s claims are false. The importer (the company bringing goods into the U.S.) pays the tariffs, and that cost is added to the price of the product.
Depending on the profit margin, part of that cost gets passed on to you, the consumer—but it's not a fixed amount.
The country where the product comes from doesn’t pay the tariff. Tariffs are added to the price when the goods arrive in the U.S.
So, in the end, WE—the American consumers—are the ones paying the tariffs through higher prices at the store.
