How come the republican supporters are not upset about the new tariff war?

That is something that will cost us ALL if tariffs actually go through.

Even if it does bring jobs back to America, do you really relish the thought of paying even more for things that are overpriced?

Some think, "At first it may cost more but prices will eventually come down". Didn't trump himself say something about once prices go up, it is really hard to bring them down?

I am just trying to understand why some members of the Right would cheer on someone who is doing things that will hit their wallets even harder.

Sure, and it's bad for the workers in those countries too. Imposing tariffs on other countries is a way of crashing the economy so that the rich can buy up everything for cheap. Soviet officials did this when the Soviet Union fell, thus becoming the Russian Oligarchs of today. In America, rich people did this during the Great Depression.
