    Absolutely, but what I find particularly frustrating is their lack of understanding about how businesses always pass on operating costs. They must factor all these expenses into the price of goods, so even if they somehow managed to make foreign manufacturers pay the tariffs, the price of said products would still reflect their production costs.
