There isn't any confusion on Trumps part of how Tariffs work. It serves his purpose to communicate them to the US people as other countries 'paying' (All that bluster about the 'EXTERNAL' Revenue service) etc to hide the fact that his tariffs are actually setting up to be the largest tax hike in US history. US consumers pay while his actual constituents, US business owners, benefit from lower competition allowing them to raise their prices and lower taxes.
The lower taxes funded from essentially gutting the entire government with DOGE and charging tariffs on imports.
