And how can the businesses afford to pay the tariffs if they can't raise their prices to consumers? BTW, businesses are also consumers; many have to buy imported materials from other businesses even if they don't import anything themselves. Nutlick has never been anything but a Wall Street parasite. Either he doesn't know WTF he's talking about or he does know and he's gaslighting us in order to lick Trump's nuts.
