> Another concern will be the reaction of the US public to price rises. It seems unlikely that the population would, for example, tolerate a threatened 60 percent rise in the price of an iPhone Given all the polling that shows economic sentiment is favorable if the president's party matches the polled person's party (and vice versa), can we anticipate this as true?

... can we anticipate this as true? Lots of voters are mushrooms --- kept in the dark and fed highly partisan BS. They don't know what to believe. Trump understands this and effectively used it to his advantage. These "mushrooms" think that China pays tariffs --- because Trump has been telling them this for years. A 60% increase in iPhone and other goods should help bring reality into better focus. As always, much of what Trump promised will never come to pass. Doing so would amount to economic sabotage.
