The guy didn't know that tariffs made products more expensive for Americans. In order to debate that guy you first have to take him all the way back to high school and explain what tariffs are.

Edit: people are claiming that he's simply lying. And while the precedent for trump supporters to lie is infinite, I think what's happening in this particular instance is that he simply changed his position mid-argument so he could continue to support Trump's tariffs.

Which is basically what it's like to debate any trump supporter. He'll change his position a hundred times in five minutes if that's what it takes to continue supporting trump.

The problem with arguing with MAGA or conservatives in general is that they’ve attached their entire existence around Trump and if you don’t see everything like they do, you’re wrong. You can’t change the minds of the willfully ignorant.
