See this is where it falls apart.
Americans are paying these costs. If companies were eating the costs, as certain posters claim, there would be no point in the tariffs. The point is to make imports more expensive to incentivize domestic production.
In order for them to work, they HAVE to be more expensive and they HAVE to be paid by the consumer!
Further, there has been no real boost in GDP or domestic manufacturing. It’s just raising prices on stuff!
