Certain products might go down in prices as retaliatory tariffs come into effect.

But again you’re missing all of the second-order effects, like people losing their jobs in the resulting contraction of demand.

You have a wildly simplistic view of the economy that ignores all of the well-understood second order effects that are inconvenient to your argument.
