Figuring out who actually paid the tariff, and how much of the tariff, as it was passed down the supply chain like a hot potato, is damn near impossible. A lot of vendors simply added a tariff surcharge based on a guess or no guess at all of the impact. How much of that is actual tariff or tariff gouging is move complicated than the Gordian Knot.

Trying to unravel it will cause even more trouble. Just chock it up to Trump stupidity and use the revenue to pay down the national debt.
