Being more specific about how tariffs aren’t really hurting the big companies, only the small ones, is due to the diversity in foreign factories that the big companies own, and can leverage.

For example, when large tariffs are placed on only one country, like China, these multinational corps can in many instances shrug it off, by simply slushing money around from other product lines built outside China, while they simply just move their manufacturing to another one of their countries they utilize besides America.

Until you start targeting these multinational companies, for manufacturing in ANY country besides America, they’ll just keep moving their manufacturing around, like a shell game. That can be done with tariffs, but it must be tariffs for ANY foreign investment, to actually force them to repatriate.

Sorry but the baseline tariff prevent country shopping for the cheapest wages. Sorry globalist you’ll have to try again to sellout American workers.
