That is and always has been the exact and only point of tariffs.
I don’t think there’s been a clearer indicator of the profound ignorance of all too many Americans than the fact that Trump actually managed to get them to believe that he could institute tariffs and lower prices.
The exact and only purpose of tariffs is to RAISE prices - specifically prices for imported goods that are lower than those of their overpriced domestic counterparts.
And that’s exactly what they will do, deliberately and by design.
It’s like when you’re literally trying to point something out to someone - standing there pointing with your finger - and they just can’t see it, so you’re stuck just jabbing with your finger and saying, “Right there! Right where I’m pointing! Can’t you see it?! It’s right there!”

I like how you’re trying to express exasperation, but it’s so exasperating that all you’ve done is define “tariff” over and over.
