Well then we need to just all stop eating tomatoes then, since the whole point of this thread is to encourage people to buy American-made only to avoid tariffs.

The plan is to yes - impose tariffs on China. But the plan also includes ALL imports, not just Chinese imports. Anything that comes in from outside our borders will have a tariff - a price hike - attached to it.

Y'all need to start saving up.
