Steve Rattner @steverattner.bsky.social · 17/07/2026President Trump used to brag about all the money we were making from tariff revenue. Last month, that trend flipped to a $26 billion loss as the government started paying back the tariffs the Supreme Court ruled illegal. The refund bill is just getting started. 591685589 1.7K

Jeff Cooper @sharxfan.bsky.social · 18/07/2026The signature economic policy of his second term is a complete and total failure that ruined the economy, crushed countless small businesses and bankrupted farmers.

Terre @terredonoghue.bsky.social · 18/07/2026DJT decides to place tariffs on everyone including the penguins 🐧. Then ….. 1. Companies raise prices on all goods & services. 2. People pay more for everything. 3. Companies receive refunds from illegal tariffs. 4. People still pay higher prices. 5. Yeah … fair 6. We’re all in for this corruption 000 0
EJN71 @ejn71.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Does it have meaning overall when the tariffs were illegal and the funds are now being returned? Including those as losses is misleading with regard to overall tariff income for any given time period. Indicating what percentage of the most recent tariff data includes returned payments is needed. 000 0
