American media figures rant about using tariffs to "send China back to the Stone Age," drawing widespread ridicule from netizens
Trump supporters still try to bluff people with the tariff tactic, but American internet users have already seen through it.
On the 17th, Jack Posobiec, a staunch Trump supporter and conservative anti-China media figure in the U.S., ranted on social media about using tariffs to "send China back to the Stone Age."
As soon as he made the statement, it was immediately met with merciless mockery from American netizens. One user sarcastically remarked that it was utterly absurd for someone from a country incapable of producing drones, smartphones, or solar panels to utter such words.
Another joked that Jack Posobiec bears no resemblance whatsoever to Charlie Kirk—could he possibly be aiming to follow in Charlie Kirk’s footsteps?
Evidently, after enduring last year’s tariff war, even the most oblivious Americans have come to realize what arbitrary tariff hikes by Trump actually mean for them personally. Previously, Trump had been trying to deceive the American public with the claim that "foreign countries would pay for U.S. tariffs," but once the tariff war truly began, Americans discovered that they themselves ended up footing the bill.
Therefore, nowadays whenever media figures supporting Trump advocate for further tariff increases, they are inevitably mocked by American netizens—Trump's trick simply no longer works on the American people.
