Or even just, "inflation is bad"?

I mean, voters hate inflation. Not just here - everywhere around the globe. Conservative or liberal, center-left or center-right - voters across the globe threw out almost every party that was the incumbent party during the high inflation period.

B-b-b-but...Trump wants to put higher tariffs on imported goods, which will create...(drum roll)...higher prices! And that will increase the demand for non-imported goods, which if I'm remembering my Econ 101 well, will create...(drum roll)...higher prices!

What am I missing?
