Add them all up, and you've got almost $732 billion worth of imported goods from just those 2 countries.
Multiply that by .25 (25% tariffs), and that's $183 billion in additional cost to American consumers (not including the "downstream" costs like packaging and packing materials, added costs for housing and transportation, and the rise in prices just in case things get even worse, and let's face it, this Donald fucking Trump we're talking about here - things will get worse).
Divide that $183 billion by 127 million households, and we all get to pay $1440 more than what we're paying now, plus whatever extra we'll have to pay for everything because of the inflation caused by something as fucking stupid as Trump's tariffs.
Wanna talk about the stuff we import from China?
