  • Donald Trump called for the creation of a new federal agency dedicated to collecting the tariffs he's threatening to impose on U.S. trading partners
  • but he was quickly taught there's already a government entity that does that.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal for a new federal agency tasked with collecting tariffs, which has drawn significant criticism and mockery. Trump suggested this idea during a speech, arguing that the U.S. loses billions due to uncollected tariffs. Critics, including political analysts and commentators, have labeled the proposal as misguided, pointing out that tariffs are already collected by existing agencies like U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They argue that Trump's understanding of how tariffs work seems flawed, as his proposal implies a lack of awareness about current governmental functions.

The article highlights the ongoing debate over Trump's economic policies and his grasp of governmental operations.
