Some companies have already said they're going to pass the extra cost onto consumers, so while the companies will pay more, they'll make a lot of that back from the consumers that can still afford the products.

Electronics will probably be the hardest hit, with prices of cell phones, laptops, and game consoles increasing quite a bit.

Good thing I got a new computer now. They'll just blame democrats (who do have a lot to blame for not countering the bullshit of the Republicans over the past 45 years) for it and insist that the tariffs would have brought prices down if they were done without democratic interference...
