In defense of the tariffs, long-term they will make it more appealing to manufacture and sell inside national boundaries. It's the interrim that's the problem. For the present, they are a disruption to the economic global order. The upshot will be slowing the spresd of globalization. Not that I'm for them, just that there is a logic behind them. Americans are narrowly focused on the present and rarely look to the horizon.

@FoxyGoddess Remember the tariffs are Trumps idea. He’s the same guy who BANKRUPTED at least 4 of his own casinos and who has NEVER filed a legitimate tax return for any of his businesses. EVER.

I didn't say any company was. I said that unless they are required to by government, they never will and will always pass it to the consumer.
I don't support the tarrifs at all.
Studies have proven that tarrifs are bad both long and short term. The only thing they will do is continue to destabilize the economy and make things more expensive than they should be.
List a company that is eating the cost of a 25% tariff and not passing it on to the end consumer.

Grow more coffee in Texas and Indiana. Tariff the Brazilian, Colombian and Vietnamese stuff. That will force American farmers into that crop. /S
