Anyone upset at thinking tariffs are going to raise prices are missing the entire point twice.

You don't pay those increased prices. You buy things made in America which would be unaffected by these increases.

That's the point. To make things made domestically viable. Either through customers refusing to buy the inflate foreign products or by companies finally being forced to eat into profit margins. Both of these things should be uniformally supported by the right by forcing domestic production and jobs and by the left whose primary complaint for 15 years has been the rich are too rich and should lose that profit margin.

Conservative Ave leftist elites hate tariffs because they protect native labor. Leftist peasants hate tariffs because they protect native labor without communism. What other explanation can there be? Lefties are literally supporting slavery and the destruction of the environment. That’s the reality of global free trade.

This concept is so simple, I am baffled by people who don't get it.

I'm not good at geopolitics, economy, etc.

I just know, either through my parents, or elsewhere how when products used to say "made in America" two things were true. We had a better economy, and those products lasted forever because they were higher quality.

And that incentivizing overseas globalist economy means less made in America, which means less quality and less jobs, which has a snowball effect of less cash injected in our own markets. People who have jobs here, spend money here and that money goes to other places in this country and on and on.

It seems pretty logical to me.

This concept is so simple, I am baffled by people who don't get it.

The problem is the economy is corrupt, the Fed supports big banks, and illegal monopolies are not controlled.

So, it's great Trump threw the switch, but it's easy to see how it's not going to turn into the good time money party everyone wants it to be.

As always the new wealth will be captured by a small number of hands. Unless this administration gets serious about small business this will not pay off the way people want.

I just know, either through my parents

You're trading on 50 year old information. Think that through before you act on it. The world is pretty different now.

I found it troubling I had to explain this to some people in a YouTube comment section complaining about it. I thought that concept was very simple, but the fact that there are people buying into the "panic" pushed by the zeitgeist lets me know there are a lot of gullible idiots out there who will support the desecration of their own nation if it's propped up by a talking head with emphatic enunciation and a menacing Trump photo.
