I don't see this supposed insult that got you worked up. The commenter stated that Trump supposedly has a department for this, but evidently no one knows what they are doing in said department, or indeed the administration as a whole on this issue.

And again, no one has to type words you want to hear. No one has to answer your specific questions.

The comment was simply saying (as far as I understood it) that the administration seems to have no idea what tariffs are nor how to use them to their benefit.

You were being the ass by somehow deciding your questions and views are the only important ones, and that any response must be on your terms or is worthy of scorn.

No one has to answer your questions. They can make whatever comments they want. No need to be an ass.

The tariffs are simply an import duty and they are calculated by HS code and product origin. They are paid by an import agent at the point of import before the goods are released.

In practice many items sent by courier will not get any duty historically. It depends what, if anything, customs decide to do. I don't think the manpower exists to look at every package and charge accordingly.

They'll just do it for randomly selected shipments, much like only a handful of shipping containers will get customs checks each day. It's not practical to apply it across the board, so the tariffs will be based almost entirely on paperwork. There's nothing at all stopping a seller from misdeclaring origin and value on paperwork to avoid duties, but why would they when the tariffs don't have any bearing on the sellers?

There was a de minimis exception for anything under 800 USD for courier shipments, but numbnuts got rid of that too.

Republican.

Calm down, Hitler.

Three incidences of childish behaviour a decade ago won't make you good or bad.

American importers, companies, and citizens pay every last cent of these tariffs. It's an import duty. Not that it wasn't evident, but Trump is thick as pig shit.

This exact wording is posted loads across the years, but the people speaking are always different.

NYT has a great puzzle app.

I'm confused why there is a plate involved at all.

He's gutting the agencies that were looking into his companies, plain and simple.

You don't even need to be Danish to find that offer insulting.

Marjorie Taylor Green is a funny-looking specimen

Except only one does here.

What are we talking about here? Bunk beds? Tables?

Yes (this answer applies whenever you happen to read this)

Detectorists was awesome.

Depends on your particular brand of cult. The Jehovah's Witness in my work doesn't consume any non-approved secular media, so pagan stuff would be out of the question. He doesn't listen to music or read books apart from the bible and books about the bible from JW perspective. Has seen Terminator 2, randomly.

A Yiddish insult or the cream that gathers at the side of some people's mouths.
