    I don’t think I could find a Spanish person, except perhaps a child, who didn’t understand the concept of an import tax. How are Americans so goddamn stupid that they don’t understand something that simple.

    It’s a tax, in the United States, imposed by the president of the United States, why the fuck would a Spanish company pay it?

      Because that’s what the idiot president told his idiot voters and they were too dumb to know he was wrong. They think he’s smart because he has money

      Because AFAIK the US republicans dismantled education as much as they could and now they have a bunch of absolute dummies running around.

        Nah, that’s no excuse here. This is an adult. I don’t know how old they are, but I was taught about taxes and tariffs in school at two or three different ages. They were a big part of the American Revolution.
