    Saying tariffs are bad or good is ideological, true, but saying tariffs will increase inflation and prices is just a fact, it is not connected to ideology.

      More of a general rule than a fact, since there are situations in which a targeted tariff can reduce inflation given time, but in a ubquitious sense they are a pressure towards increasing inflation.
