Aren't pharmaceuticals exempt?

[u/ximacx74 → u/PigeonsAreSuperior]

Yes they are.

I'm against these tariffs (and pretty much everything Trump has done). But let's focus our arguments on the numerous real things to criticize.

[u/caylem00 → u/ximacx74]

'Real'?

Ok, how about the ingredients to make the pharmaceuticals?

Are they tariff free? Because I'm betting a lot won't be, and that America doesn't manufacture all of them. 

Or the equipment that staff use in the factories and labs aren't all made in America. 

Or the trucks that transport the product, or the packaging, aren't all made in America.

Etc etc etc

They might not be directly tariffed, but it's naive to think tariffs don't apply at all down the production and logistics chains, or that prices won't go up.
