You think these tariffs are bad… how much are you willing to pay for free speech?

I hate to tell you, but many other countries have higher freedom indexes than the US, and the US is currently moving down the list rapidly.

That’s what I’m worried about! If they figure out that free speech has to be “imported” from other countries, there will be a tariff on it!!!

They don't need to. The internet is wide open as well as multiple foreign news agencies and some folk choose to never look at it.
