"Those aren't levied on foreign countries or companies - but instead on the U.S. importers who bring those goods into the U.S. for sale." - and those importers (guys like me) pass them right along to you the purchaser, and YOU are who will pay it, not me.

Once again, this is an example of how most people don't understand what tariffs do. There is a reason people say tariffs are nothing but taxes - because they usually get shifted directly to the consumer as Scott has repeatedly detailed for us. China doesn't pay for those tariffs.
Yep. And even if you personally "buy American" you pay it. The fixtures in the stores, such as shelves and displays, are mostly made in China. And since most of them are made of metal they got hit hard with both Trump's China tariff and the steel tariff.

Seriously. In what world is an extra 20% forced to be paid by an importer not going to be passed along to the consumer?
Every time I hear that convict say this, I canтАЩt believe that literally everyone isnтАЩt laughing at the stupidity.
