Tariffs are paid by the company that imports foreign-made goods to the government. To make up for that expense, they charge the retailer the same amount; and to make up for that expense, the retailer charges the customer the same (or a higher) amount added to the item's price. (at least as I understand it)
If OOP is "100% Trump!", they should be very, extremely happy about paying into THEIR President's pockets.

Apparently it’s difficult to grasp that price increases when thing get more expensive.
But why? Is it because of Biden? Please don't explain it to me.
It’s because of Hunter Biden’s laptop

Because it's very hard to search online for "how tariffs work". This is why Trump got elected, because idiots like this who have no capacity to fact check things voted for him, no questions asked.
To make answer short, YOU pay the tariffs dummy. You do!
