      You forgot that the tea now costs $7.50 which is paid by the consumer. The tea company sure as shit isnt taking a 50% loss to sell tea now. So the american consumer pays the tariff. Shitler and goebbels pocket the 25% that comes out of an american workers paycheck.

        Even worse. The company selling it needs to meet percentage profit margins. So before when they paid $5 and charge 50% markup, it was 7.50. Now that it is $7.50 cost, they don’t charge $10, they charge $11.25.
