If Trumps tariffs go thru would that not cause the countries the tariffs are imposed on just raise their prices? And a result of that hurt the american consumer? Why do it to begin with?

A small widget manufacturer attempting that would get bought out by a larger widget manufacturer because anti-trust laws are unenforced. A mid-size or large widget manufacturer would make more money by not doing that and instead forming a widget cartel with the other larger manufacturers because anti-cartel laws are unenforced.
