It's that simple. The taxes will be passed on to you, the consumer, especially to the fools who voted this big moron in.
The democratic party failed to communicate what tariffs are and that's because they stopped caring to communicate with voters ending up in its failure to stop this foolish behavior. The democratic party has always been shit, but the fact that they couldn't win against a criminal who admitted to his criminal behavior shows the democratic party is seen as worse than criminals. Take some self reflection on that.
A tariff is a tax on everyone in the country. It should have been that easy and that simple to communicate.
