The cost of the tarrifs was not paid by the foreign manufactures and was passed down to US consumers.

The only way tarrifs would not affect US consumers is if US manufacturing was ready to step in an produce the same products here on US soil, which it has not bee able to do since the late 1980's.  It would take several decades for US manufactuing to move that capability back to the USA, and even then the cost of labor alone would be prohibitive.

This doesn't even touch the fact that SCOTUS deemed the tariffs illegal.
