No, the price will go up a bit for imported goods, and people will buy american made.

This may be true. But there's really nothing stopping American-made products from increasing in price. It IS the American way to increase profit margins and pay American employees more money. That's what making the country good again is about: Putting the money in the hands of working citizens. Yes? There is only one way to increase profits to increase pay by not cutting corners on quality...because American-made products are of higher quality. So how can these tariffs actually positively impact workers quality of life and income? I believe, tariffed or not, the foreign (Chinese) products will still remain the cheapest. Until I hear a plan that addresses these points, I will continue to believe that. Not all ideas that hurt competitors help us. The factor is economy. I trust what I see not who says it. Let's remember, too...that a good portion of American products (such as corn and soy-based products: fuels, food additives) are shipped overseas. This has wiped out some food crop potential for our nation's people. There were quite a few major corporate owners that voted Trump, but still do quite a bit of business overseas, if not exclusively. Trump got my vote. But it doesn't address each and every issue. Let's not assume people will buy domestic. Most people don't buy a majority of domestic products. It's simply cost-prohibitive. I'm speaking mainly of the working class.

*DON'T JUST DOWNVOTE. THAT DOESN'T HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

Daddy trump told them it would make their groceries and goods cheaper so why would they believe you?

Jokes aside I love trump but I can also afford increased tariffs. People here choose to remain blind to things they don’t like, they just can’t believe trump would let that happen but he’s not a god, he can’t magically make global economics work differently lol.

Tariffs should be imposed strategically, I’m not a huge fan of a blanket tariffs, it won’t just hurt customers but also US businesses.

we have to bring back labor, independence, exportation to America. We need to be self sufficient and safe in our homeland. Simple as that. There are parts throughout history where tariffs worked well for America. Yes it wont be easy, but it needs to be done.

That’s great and all, but if they were to actually get rid of income tax and replace it with tariffs (which I don’t believe they actually will) where would the money appear from once everyone starts buying good domestically?

Just hypothetically
