Don't worry, everything here is imported now anyway.

Rene Herse has an article on tariffs. It's pretty long, and not so much about the small item tariff. but thebicycle industry as a whole.

That's not entirely true. I'm using Michelin Latex inner tubes in 26". BUT they were "Not for sale in the US" before tariffs. I had to find a vendor someplace else who would ship them to me. So it's the French that are the problem.

How exactly will US consumers paying higher prices for goods be a benefit to the economy? Even if importers eat part of the tariff cost, it is still a negative in that the company's income goes down. Bottom line is that tariffs are taxes paid for by citizens/companies of the importing country. Tariffs have never, nor never will be, a boon to an economy.

There's been a court ruling that Trump doesn't have the authority to impose all these tariffs. He's claiming National Emergency Powers. The court has given him until Oct. to appeal this. Of course by then it probably will be an emergency.
