    There’s no “sort of” there. A tariff is literally a tax on imported goods, and companies can’t be expected to take on the full burden of these taxes, so they get passed on to the consumer.

    Basically Trump decided to raise taxes for everyone. It’s no surprise that they’re bringing in more money.
