I expect they'll make a show of it for appearances, maybe invest in some smaller stuff, but at the end of the day companies are driven by money, and they simply make more of it when they do their manufacturing where labour is cheap.

A factory worker in the US makes about $16 an hour, while in China they make $4. No companies is going to pay out x4 as much if they don't have to, it's easier to just absorb the tariff by making the customer pay more.

Probably.  But it would, on paper, be great if Apple, tsmc and nvidia do follow through.  Some big time money.  

Edit

Point being, I think making firm conclusions on tariffs is silly, on both sides.  Until we know how it plays out in full, everyone is speculating mostly on political bias.

I mean we can see it playing out in realtime right in front of us; Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have all raised their prices in the US since the tariffs came into effect.

All that's being accomplished is that Americans are now paying more for things when they were already in a cost of living crisis.
