Good thread on tariff incidence (though I'm not sure Trump gets this point at all). Also important: in the real world, a lot of things prevent a quick/easy shift in supply or change in import price - contracts, supply chains, consumer preferences, finite global supply, etc.
In Section 301 comments, for example, dozens of US firms noted that, bc of these factors, it'd take YEARS to switch import suppliers, even where adequate non-China supply exists. Others said that US demand outstripped non-China supplies & building new facilities wasn't realistic.
So there are a lot of practical impediments to shifting a tariff burden away from consumers, even where the textbooks say it should be easy.
