Right, cool. So the government might have to give back to the companies the money they paid for the tariffs but no one will move a finger to enforce those companies to give back the money to their customers who paid for it though. but guys, he did it "for the world".

Americans don’t realise that he is taxing the poor through consumption, allowing the wealthy to avoid higher taxes. And because this tax is indirect, there is no widespread revolt against it. This is what the tariff is.
