Can we replace the word “tariffs” with “the invisible hand of the market”?

    The response to the tariffs is the invisible hand. Youre thinking of tiny hands that are responsible for the tariffs

    No. Not even close to what those terms mean. If there was a useful comparison it would be to replace tariffs with Sales Tax. Every single time anyone even mentions Trump’s tariffs we should be calling them Trump’s massive sales tax.
