Tariffs are bad unless you’re a domestic producer of a good that has just been tariffed, and now you have less competition and can raise your prices.

Or, rather, you must raise your prices because Orange Foolius has tariffed your manufacturing inputs.

That’s what I said - it’s bad for everyone except domestic producers of tariffed stuff. So, bad for consumers, producers of downstream goods, etc.

No, what I'm saying is it's bad for "domestic producers of stuff" too.

Source: domestic producer of stuff (me.) My products require components and materials that we don't currently make here in the US and won't be making anytime soon. I can't do anything about that. So why am I getting hosed?
