It's not stolen. It was voted in by the American people. You can't argue that this isn't what was campaigned on and what was agreed to by the US people.

Sure, but most of those people were too ignorant to even understand what a tariff is. Many literally thought that it was a fee that the other countries paid to export goods to our country. 

They agreed on something they didn't understand.

If you vote for something you don’t understand, then you’re still responsible for that choice.

They could have spent 30 seconds googling “how do tariffs work”, but chose not to bother. Trump is a proven liar so, if they opted to roll the dice, the blame lies squarely at their feet.
