If Trump's tariff policy is implemented without reciprocal trade increases, prices rise for US consumers while aggregate demand falls because corporations source from other lower-cost countries and American workers see no income increase, resulting in net loss of purchasing power.

Michael GreenEvidence Quote
“so Trump has articulated what he would do if we were to put 20% tariffs on all us Imports and 60% tariffs on All Imports associated with China and we were to receive no net benefit in terms of increased ports to those countries in exchange for it then you have a very bad outcome right I mean the simple math is prices go up in the United States that means that on things that people need they would have to spend more money on those that leaves less money available for discretionary purchases and savings”
