Gamer's Nexus made a documentary about the effects of the Trump tariffs on PC gaming, and the wider PC industry in general:

 It's a sweet 3 hours long, so plan in in advance for this double-feature.

Spoiler!

TL;DW: Companies won't come to the US to produce things there since there's wayyy too much volatility in the US due to Trump constantly announcing and then pausing and unpausing the tariffs that the companies in the video rather not ship to the US AT ALL anymore rather than putting up production facilities in the US to get around the tariffs, tariffs which are so punitive they can't make any profit at all anymore in the US.

And even if they put the production in the US, they still have THEIR suppliers and raw material sources to consider, which are all tariffed either way, so unless they would move to the US too, it wouldn't get much cheaper anyway.

Conclusion: everything that will still sell in the US will get about twice as expensive if all the tariffs that have been announced get into action.
