Donald Trump's tariff proposal is worse than even his critics say, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: A tariff is, in effect, the equivalent of a national sales tax on imported goods.

He says domestic manufacturers will react differently to the tariff if it's imposed, and it will make them rich.

Trump ’s tariffs stand to make you so much money that you’d be laughing on your way to your megayacht, private jumbo jet, private Caribbean islands, he says.

The net effect of Trump ’s tariffs would be to raise the price of goods made in China as well as goods made here in America .

Whether buying single-use wooden utensils for a backyard barbecue, computers for your children to do schoolwork, or new shoes, you will pay much more to buy Chinese or American -made goods.
