Oh jeez, even if it isn't true, "It's okay, I'll be able to afford the price increase no matter what. Best of luck to you though." is the best possible response to anyone convinced that tariffs are a good idea.
Just agree with them and say "I don't mind paying 2, 3, even 4 times as much for groceries and other household items if it teaches China a lesson. Elon said we were going to need to make sacrifices to do this."
