   You're going to pay either way. Slapping new tariffs on goods or raising tariffs on existing tariffed goods gives the green light for domestic producers to raise prices as well rather than risk leaving money on the table.

   You have a $10 item that tariffs took to $15. Great. Don't buy it. Now the domestic producer sees he can sell his $10 item for $12 or $13. The thing is that it's not just 1 item. You buy much more than 1 item... that you're now paying 10, 20 or 30% higher for.

     Yes but, on the whole, you might save money from not being taxed on your income and you have the choice to buy or not buy. You also save a TON on tax preparations and overall work+time spent doing income tax bullshit for what the government supposedly already knows how much you're supposed to owe. ...Not to mention the risk of going to jail for guessing wrong.

     Not everyone has that choice. The 3 nations are America's biggest trade partners. It's more than just checking labels for "made in murica". This touches electronics which everyone must have, oil, lumber, many things. Yeah some stuff's made here but countless goods have components imported from abroad. In addition to, like I said, giving American companies the green light to raise their prices as well. There could be a case to say in the big picture the consumer will be paying more.

     Maybe, but I don't think it'll end up that way after things are in-sourced more, like they used to be, and more income to more people doing more here. Maybe you'll be right but we'll hope you're wrong.

     That could take more than 4 yrs for that to happen if ever considering companies first would have to start from scratch to build, stock and staff these plants- additional costs which will be paid by the consumer.

     Govt's largest source of revenue comes from taxation (theft). Tariffs would have to be exponentially higher than these lil 10-25% numbers being thrown around. We haven't even broached the topic of the national debt or how much money he plans on taking OUT of circulation.
