Trump 110% still believes that other countries pay these tariffs.
He believes they can't raise their own tariffs in turn. That's the real danger here. Not Americans paying double for some knock off plastic widget on Temu, but American exporters running into an equivalent tariff wall trying to import cars and computers and pork shoulders into China.
