Do you know what tariffs are? Remember the Boston Tea Party? When people through crates of tea into the harbor because they were going to impose a 3% tax on just tea? That tax was a tariff
When the cost of the tariff is passed on to consumers it becomes, in effect, a sales tax.

I’m not laughing at that. We are also going to see a big increase in child mortality since science isn’t something they listen to and they think they’re smarter than vaccines.
Any cost to corporations is passed on to the consumer, all profits go straight into the CEO's pockets. Their profits are never passed on to the consumer.
My husband was saying yesterday that Walmart and Loewe's have already warned consumers that if Trump goes through with this that there will be higher prices on their stuff. He was also talking about how the US gas price will increase by the gallon because 60% of it comes from Canada.

When you're talking about buying goods at a store it is called a sales tax.
When you're talking about putting a tax on goods as they are imported that is called a tariff.
