If Trumps tariffs go thru would that not cause the countries the tariffs are imposed on just raise their prices? And a result of that hurt the american consumer? Why do it to begin with?

Well under that logic why bother with any business expenses ?

Why bother with labour laws, or income tax, or work insurance, or workers compo, or environmental laws ?

Because they are all costs on business. And you can bet the foreign manufacturer doesn’t comply with anything like the US regulations.
