The Real Victims of the Tariffs / myLot

Those with fully operational brains noted that America bought 60% of its beef from Brasil. To slap high tariffs on that nation would only effect American consumers. Trump, upset that his clone was prosecuted for insurrection as Brasil enforces its laws, (unlike America), flung its tariff. Now that the price of beef is skyrocketing in America, Trump gets his puppets to post rubbish to divert from the fact; his 'big beautiful tariffs' are impacting Americans. Things are going to get worse.

It's a complex situation with real consequences for everyday budgets. These policies definitely have a ripple effect that hits the consumer hardest.

the ignorance of how costs are calculated is amazing. If this costs more than the purchaser pays the price, not the seller. The seller raises prices to cover the cost. Or, as in the case of many countries... America buys our products in our country then brings them to the US. And charges more to the purchasers.

@jaylar You've explained the fundamental mechanics perfectly. That pass-through effect to the consumer is often the most immediate and visible consequence of these policies.
