Kudlow goes on television determined to agree with his boss, a most disagreeable guy. And very stupid, with the arrogance to prove it. 

First, Kudlow agrees with the idea that China pays tariffs. Stupid number 1.

Then, he says they sort of pay the tariffs because in a real roundabout way they might in fact notice the tariffs and agree that they are stupid. Stupid number 2.

Then, he says that China doesn't pay tariffs, but that doesn't matter because the tariffs are necessary because his moronic boss says they are necessary. Stupid number 3.

The next day his boss declares via his thumbs that, true, the tariffs are not paid by the Chinese, but the Chinese still suffer because of the tariffs and soon we will win the trade war. Stupid number 4.

And, finally, the moron-in-chief declares via his thumbs that China pays the tariffs.
