It sounds like he thinks the word “tariff” just means “payment”. Then he follows that with “[whoever he thinks should make the payment]”. Tariff by Apple, Tariff by China, etc. Honestly. I don’t know how else you can make it make sense.
If Apple is the importer of record for its products, then it does incur and pay the tariff to the U.S. government. But obviously that gets passed along to consumers as no company will simply eat the cost.

he makes it sound like the manufacturers pay the tarriff so his moron supporters think it’s a good idea.
All to try and flood the treasury so he can afford tax cuts he promised to donors.
Turns out running the government is hard and it sucks.
