Nothing works off of projected anything lol I have no idea what you think youre saying here, but its gibberish. Nothing is being projected. Ill try once more to guide your small brain to the correct conclusion, using non-partisan math and YOUR examples, YOUR numbers. 1: please state what the profit margin is for a shoe that costs the company $15 and is being sold to the consumer for $100 2: do you agree that a 100% tariff on a $15 cost shoe would make it now cost $30? 3: now apply the profit margin you calculated from 1, to the tariffed shoe that now costs $30, and state the sell price. You literally cant do this basic math because theres something ideologically wrong with your brain preventing you from using a basic calculator. Its really sad.
