   There seems to be a lot of confusion over how tariffs work.   
   Trump is putting a tariff on goods as they come into the USA.   
   Those selling to you don't change anything, Trump just puts   
   what amounts to a fat Tax on everything imported so his gov't   
   makes a lot of money off of the Americans who buy those things.
