Not only that but imagine if he was right and the seller paid the tariff, does he honestly think they would just eat the loss?
He thinks mexico paid for the wall.
He thinks the wall was fully built years ago in trumps first term.
He believes trump tells the truth.
In other words, he did "his own research", which consisted of believing his own biases, and confirming them in an echo chamber.

no they actually look at fox, and even what some right wing grifter tells them. trump is just there as "eye candy" for these companies and people.
