US consumer inflation in 2025 was 2.7%, so clearly the impact on consumers from tariffs was minimal.

Almost no change in economic policy has immediate effect, including tariffs.

I'm skeptical. Tariffs affect the cost of business same-day. If we were going to see a change in consumer prices id expect to see an inkling of a change 12 months in. I'm open to being wrong but claims that tariffs are destroying the American consumer feel like gas lighting given the CPI data.
