If you buy your stuff second hand ect, which "i would imagine most of those fumbling peasants who voted for Trump do"... no effect there either.
So i am not sure that Tariffs have the effect those who are gas lighting about it think it does.
And i am no fan of tarrifs for the most part.

Autos and Housing are other ones.
Is US self sufficient there? I imagine also deporting a swath of people who build those homes, will be good for legal trades people, not for end buyer.
If he can pull off net zero inflation on food, clothing, gas, homes and autos your right. I think his plan is to bully everyone outside US to come home and keep prices flat. I am doubtful.
