talking about the amount calculated vs. the amount passed to the consumer.

The tariff is paid by the purchaser of the goods.

eg. 10% on Product A from China.

Current imports total $1000 on this product from China.

Tariff total potential revenue = $100.

***

Reality:

Supplier in China drops price by 5%, now that target is $950.

(in 2018-19) Supplier in China routes shipping through non-tariffed country for 40% of that product, dropping the tariff total by 40% of $950.

US buyer "eats" 5% on this product or sources some from other places

bottom line, US gathers far less than $100 adn consumers pay far less than that $100 extra.

Note: I think Trump is full of $hit when he tosses out "$2B a day" and is posturing and boasting and obfuscating - all part of his negotating posture and absurd personal ego.
