“Tariffs: when you tax your own citizens to teach another country a lesson they won’t learn”

A statement about tariffs was posted on X/Twitter and Bluesky by 𝕊𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕖_𝔾𝕦𝕣𝕝 on May 2, 2025:
 
“Tariffs: when you tax your own citizens to teach another country a lesson they won’t learn.”
 
The saying means that while tariffs might be meant to protect and support a country’s own industry, they end up as a tax and are counterproductive.
