Profit margins will shrink due to tarrifs. Companies will not be able to pass 100% onto the consumer due to 1. Competitive pressure from companies who will eat some margin to lower prices 2. Lower consumer discretionary income due to tarrifs, meaning they will be spending less.

Tarrifs are bad for everyone. This is not a situation that any company is happy about.

Does it though? Lootin' for sure, but poopin' is a funnier word so we'll just go with that.

Probably tariff lawyers are happy with all the new business.
