I was told recently by an American that tariffs were a good thing if you just believed in them and Trump. He explained that for a $100 product, china pays $30 of the tariff so you only pay $70. What a discount!
Be like that dude and you’ll be happier.
He’s going to be upset when he goes to make his first purchase and that $30 goes to the government and not to him. This is just raising taxes ffs.
I’m sure he’ll find a way to justify it :) they always do.
Looked up the polling and that's an unusual sort of ignorance. A broad majority of American's think tariffs will raise prices, even through the long term.

All the Americans I know in person believe tariffs will lower prices.
