Because everyday people in the USA will end up paying the costs of those tariffs and all the negative things that come from that will harm our economy.

Because it will result in China shipping that share of its exports that used to go to the USA to other countries and if they increase the amount they are shipping to other countries at the very least it will decrease prices because it's more in bulk.
...countries to get that business. This will cause an increase in sales, jobs, et in those countries to respond to that. And as others mentioned, they can resell to the USA without that tariff, so the cost of the tariff comes from USA consumers and indirectly goes to the country reshipping to us.
He could do that and it would basically be ruinous for us. I really wonder if the USA could survive something so stupid. Realistically if it got passed, it would only be enforced when Trump wants to take revenge on some company, person or State.

They'll also offer sweetheart deals to those...
I wonder if Trump would go further then by imposing the tariff not just on the nation of origin but the actual product itself.
