Best guess is that some corporations might get a refund since they paid the tariffs and they will pocket the money.
It's even funnier than that. People connected to Trump bought rights to get refunds from corporation a year ago for cents on the dollar. Now they will make billions.
I've seen this mentioned a few times on Lemmy but can't find any articles talking about this. Do you have a source? It sounds very believable, but I want to make sure it's true before I start telling people.
Specifically the son of Epstein-file regular and commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. The very same commerce secretary who came up with the tariffs to begin with, but it's completely fine, cause it's not him doing it, it's just his son
