No, there are many cases where companies, or governments, don't raise prices because they know they will lose business if they do, so they eat those higher tariff prices in the short term.

Trump has higher Republican support than any Republican president in polling history. So the vast majority of voters understand and support what he is doing over the long term.
There is no logic to the Democrat position regarding Trump's tariffs, or the wars in Venezuela and Iran. They oppose them and propagandize against hem just because i is Trump is doing them. Despite that 8 or 10 years ago, Schumer, Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries and the rest were clamoring for previous presidents to do exactly what Trump is doing.

Chuck Schumer in 2015, let me introduce you to Chuck Schumer in 2026. Immigration, Venzuela, border security, Iran, you name the issue. Chuck Schumer in 2015 was saying the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he is saying now.
Why?
Because... hate Trump. panic

Democrats are furious because Trump, unlike them, actually meant what he said, and actually did it.
Whereas the Democrat-Bolsheviks just told people what they wanted to hear, with no intention of actually doing it.
