re: If a 25% tariff on any one country can cause this much uproar

Don’t earn an income, you don’t pay the income tax. Don’t buy anything, you don’t pay the sales tax. Don’t own property, you don’t pay the property taxes. I’m sure you are ok with all of the Ds tax plans (incomes, wealth, etc.) on the higher earners and wealthiest individuals, because they could just make less money or have less wealth.

None of these things are related to refraining from buying Chinese products. I'm sure you realize that, but maybe you don't.

You have a choice about the things that you buy. You make your choice, I'll make mine.
I won't be paying any tariffs on Chinese crap.
I am not going to claim that I have never bought any Chinese stuff,( I actually bought a Chinese made Epiphone Wildcat guitar a few days ago. I wish it had cost more money, and had been built in The U.S.. It would be a better product and would hold it's value better. Maybe Gibson will start building them here now, I would definitely pay triple the price, for a U.S. made one.) but it is damn rare that I do anything like that.
You do what you want though.
