But why? Is it because of Biden? Please don't explain it to me.
It’s because of Hunter Biden’s laptop

I would be short and concise, and just for this person add a sprinkle of personal responsibility:
Trump taxed you because you bought something un-American.

They STILL don't get it? Everyone has been yelling about exactly what would happen. The news, social media, people protesting in the streets... even Fox News is critical of the Tariffs now. Journalists are bringing it up at White House press conferences and getting reaponses from the Press Secretary. This is not a secret. What sort of social bubble/echo chamber, do these people live in? Just fully bought in to the kool-aid. Useful idiots, the lot of them!
To be fair, everyone has been yelling about a lot of things. I even notice a lot of stupid things said against Trump, which is frustrating, because imagine you're hearing all those stupid things said and you're not already committed to an anti-Trump ideology - then how will you believe when you hear the real anti-Trump things said?
Having half an ounce of curiosity, sense, and genuine interest in how the world works is a good start. What's sad is that that is apparently asking too much.

See, the trick is that calling it a tariff hides the fact it's an IMPORT TAX, paid by the people within the IMPORTING COUNTRY
