   Something I have not seen in the discussions on Trump's Tariff gambit is the effect on the sticker price.
   Most TV personalities are saying that the cost of the tariff shows up as a dollar for dollar increase on the sticker price, and this is not quite true in most cases.

   Most retailers have a margin target, so will add margin to the tariff.

   You, the customer, will pay the tariff PLUS a profit margin on TOP of the product costs

     Of course you will!-Virtually all for-profit businesses controll their companies by some means of a sales or even profit margin.
